18" OEM wheels on Regal GS (w/ Brembos)

[Latinum]

Does anybody know if any of the 18" Regal wheels from the TourX and/or non-GS sportback models will fit on the 2020 GS and clear the Brembos? I had heard the TourX wheels might fit the GS but can anybody confirm that?

I wrecked a wheel on a bad pothole and I am struggling to find a replacement GS wheel. Everybody that lists them in stock online doesn't actually have them. I do have a GS wheel on order with the dealership however it is on backorder. Aftermarket options are extremely limited as well.

My car is currently inoperable and there seem to be plenty of 18" regal wheels for sale in the used and refurbished market.

I am looking to purchase 4 18" wheels and run those in the winter for pothole season.

Thanks in advance.

Yes they will

Thank you! That extra inch of rubber is going to help significantly with the potholes.

I also received confirmation that my replacement GS wheel is in the warehouse and getting shipped to the dealership soon.

Hey how long did it take you get your wheel ordered in? It's been a week since I've been told it's on back order and they expect it to be another 7 business days.

It may protect your wheel, but that extra rubber won’t help the tire. This happened last Saturday morning about 5:30am.

PS: The pump and tire sealant included in lieu of my spare tire won’t help this…

Somewhat related, I got a 2012 gs with the 20 inchers, nice looking but I too would like some more sidewall. Would the 13-spoke q56 option 18" wheels fit over the gs brakes? If anyone has tried.

This was us last Tuesday on Rte 81 near Dorrance, Pa
🤐
Had to run on our donut ~ 15 mi & leave the car in Hazleton for a week waiting for a new rim ($655) & tire.
I searched Harry's U-Pull & several used & repair shops in town, but no 18" 5x115's to be found.
All told; hotel, rental to finish our trip to Charlotte, new rim & tire = ~$2k.
Blaise Buick took good care of us and we picked it up all mounted, balanced & installed on the way back to return the rental & get home.

What did you hit?

Never saw it, but my wife said it looked like a RR tie sitting half way into the left lane. It took out at least 2 other cars at the time.
