Got new BBS CH-R wheels installed
These are BBS CH-R 20x9 ET25 in Titanium and Michelin Pilot Sports in 265/35-20.
After seeing some photos of 20x9 in ET29 on an S6 I decided I could make these work. The offset is certainly on the aggressive side. The rim doesn't stick out past the top of the fender, but the tires do just very slightly. No rubbing in the 15 or so miles I've put on it driving back to the house.

Looks great to me! Good color combo for your car. I don't think they will rub. The offset difference is greater than the wheel width addition. Let us know how you like your setup. I originally was going to go for the same rim for my glacier white S6 due on 12/17. I changed my mind, but now I'm reconsidering

It's the stock air suspension in it's lowest position (Dynamic). I figure it'll be a while before folks figure out how to replace it. I suspect the ECU wouldn't be happy if the air bladder were to disappear, unless it's passive when raising and lowering and operating on a timer (for the air).

I've got roughly 2300 mi on the clock. The tire is slightly larger in diameter by 0.2", but I wouldn't expect that to really make a noticeable difference in the fender gap. Not sure why mine would be lower -- the mileage doesn't seem to be enough for anything to settle.
