The only roads I know of in the ibex wilderness need at least moderate clearance to safely pass. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have an SUV or better.
Sheephead mountain is right there and it's a beautiful hike. Short too. Only 1.25 miles from salsberry pass to the summit. There is a use trail part of the way. Poles are helpful for a brief steep and loose section.
If you go all the way south, hiking out to the ibex dunes is nice. I *think* saratoga springs road is passable by a low clearance vehicle to the ibex dunes area, approaching from the south.
Edit: oh and the southern section of harry wade road is fine but don't try to drive it all the way through. The northen section isn't in great shape and today I crossed the amargosa and it surprised me how deep it was.
