I would like to buy a set of BBS CH-R's in 20 inch, the sizes are:

Front: 9x20 ET24 with 245/30/20
Rear:10,5x20 ET24 with 285/25/20

Seller says it will not fit on a touring because they have tried.
BBS says they fit with fender rolling front and rear and some streching in the rear.

I don't mind the rolling part but do mind the streching. Who has a simular setup on their touring and can give me al clue ?

Thanks

Nice choice in wheels!

I have a set of BBS-CH wheels on my touring. 19x10 rear and 19x8.5 front with a 20mm offset.

The rear fenders had to be rolled but didn't have to stretch anything.

Thanks,

But that actually makes it more confusing because the seller of the CH-R that says that they won't fit suggested to take the CH's in as combination exactly like yours and said that those would fit without fender rolling !?

With the CH wheels I had to roll my rear fenders.

I did some calculations with the CH-R wheels. The wheels will stick out approximately 16mm. With that being said there?s a good chance the tires will rub the fenders.
Can you test fit the wheels before purchasing them?
