20” BBS wheels installed!

Plus in 2 separate posts he states two different widths: 9.5" and 9" 🤔

I did notice that, was curious myself on that because I really like the look, but dont want to get a set too wide for my own vehicle.

It appears that there is plenty of room. I'm considering a 20x10, but haven't looked too far into it other than just some quick basic eye balling and measuring.

I don't think the H&R springs would be enough for it to look proper, so I'm waiting to see if anyone releases coilovers for the car.

After picking up the TourX in December, and a long winter of planning, Spring is finally nearly sprung here in New York- I simply couldn’t wait any longer!

Having grown up in the VW/Audi scene of the 90/00s, I guess I still hold an affinity for nice German cars on nice German wheels. So, without further ado...

20x9.5” BBS CX-R wrapped in 235/40/20 on my Tri-Coat White TourX:

Thanks to forum member Rhetoric for dealing with and listening to my ramblings of fitment. I should add that the flow formed BBS’ saved quite a bit of weight vs the (IMO) terrible factory wheels, which have now been mounted with proper snow tires. I think these absolutely made and transformed the car, and I hope you do too!

Great looking ride bro!!
Could you please post where you sourced these wheels??

The exact size is 20 by 9 or 9.5
With a 5 / 115 BP??
Thx 😎

This post makes me feel better about my 20x8.5 +28 on 245/40/20 setup I ordered. Crossing my fingers there's no issues.

Looks awesome still.

It'll be a week or two before it all comes in and installed. I will post after, success or failure.

I think you got a sensible set of 20";s and tire combo and they should fit. The 245/50-18 I have on mine look just right to me.
What brand & Style of wheels and tires did you go with?
However as far as 20" wheels go, they are not my thing. I favor 18" wheels on a Regal, being the wheel with the best combination of ride & handling properties. Now a HellKitty or GT 500, 19" or 20" wheels to fit the brakes is required, but I want some sidewall with lesser cars.

With the significant changes to scrub radius, how is bump-steer, torque-steer, and tramming? Does the car drive better or worse than before? Thanks in advance!

I ended up purchasing a set of centerline 20x9 et27, we will see how we both do for clearance!

 

[diamondbuickgmc]

@Bald Regal, with your bbs and tires, have you had any rubbing on the wheelwell lip yet? Just ordered some wheels going off your sizing in hoping it's a good fit

Hello, did your et 27 wheels fit just fine on your tourx? or did you run into any rubbing issues

Did you end up going with 20x10? I'm considering this offset as well. thanks

5 years later?

Have a recommendation to a forum post where they are still actively discussion wheel sizes for the tourx that’s more recent than this?
