Can I fit 215 on my Cx? Or will it touch the wing of the car?

Are you using the TRX Metric wheels or the 14" standard ones?
The Metric Turbo wheels have 210/215 as standard but the 14" only use 195's I know people who have fitted 205 section on the 14's but any bigger i think will cause problems.

No, at this moment i have standart 14" wheels, but i want to buy alfa's aloy wheels wich is 15" and fit one them 215 tires. I dont understand, if you can fit 215 TRX tires, why can i fit 215 standart tires?

Is the offset/pcd of the Alfa alloy wheels correct for a Citroen CX?

The alfa wheels are about the only wheel around right now that does have the correct 5 stud and PCD pattern for the CX and yes if you use the alfa wheels you should be ok on the 215 (as far as i know) the reason the TRX's are ok on 215's is the lower profile i believe.

Hi Guys,
there appears to be 3 types of wheels, the god awful TRX 390mm wheels, 14 x 5.5 steel wheels and 14 x 6 alloy wheels.
215 will be to wide for the standard metal wheels, however I have used 215/65 14" Toyo's under the nose of my CX2400 pallas (that's fitted with the alloy wheels). They are bloody brilliant, leaving the standard width tires on the back and running the 215/65's on the front produces excellent handling. The 215/65 14" tires will not rub, so this isn't a consideration.
TRX wheels will ONLY take TRX metric tires, I had these on my CX 2500 GTi Turbo until I chucked 'em to the sh!thouse and fitted 16" aftermarket wheels.
good luck!
Shane L.

Alfa is the only one who uses the same patern. You can see it from the link below. Cx patern is 5x98
