Tiguan Aftermarket Wheel / Rim Thread

[SAPJetta]

Looks like my foray into the Tiggy forum was short lived as we are going to be getting rid of the Tig rather than my Rabbit. Oh well....

VMR VB3 19x8.5

[Lordboost]

YUMMY!

[VMRWheels]

^^ That Tiguan pulls off the VB3s perfectly.

I get a new VW Tiguan tomorrow, and need help to pick rims!
Its white.

Corniche LeMans ore Mam RS1.

Here are Mam RS1, black inside, and polished outside.

Also black inside, and polished outside.

What would you choose, and why?

Second set.
The first ones look too much like the millions of RS4 clone wheels out there.

So I would need to get "arm extensions" just to rock OEM Savannah's on my U.S. Tig?

Does this apply to aftermarket 19's too?

I'm sooo not interested in dealing with spacers, liners, etc.

Apparently it is required everywhere as they poke out from the bodywork.
There are 2 types (thick and thin arch extensions).

Just be glad you even got them as an option, they weren't allowed in Australia.

I wondered this too.. I saw vwoas tig on Savannah's a month back .. You can totally get away with lowline flares.. Although I love the highline flares.

So I realized I never posted back on here with my final decision of a wheel choice. Here they are 18x8 et35 Matte Black Audi A8 reps

Posted these in the other thread, figured it made sense here, too.



They are 2013 Passat SEL takeoffs, pretty sure they are the same as CC Mallory's.

Thanks, I just picked up some 19x9.5 et40 for the wife's Tig and was curious about the fitment. Sounds like I'll need some spacers.

spacers will depend on tire size for you.. mine has a slight stretch. so with a 45et and 3mm spacers my final et is 42 up front.. I added 12mm spacers to the rear because I wanted to have my rear sit closer to the fender..

without spacers my front was about flush with the front fender and my rear was about 6mm in from the fender..

if I was running a 255 tire the tire not the rim would of hit the strut.. so your tire size will determine what size spacer you want to run..

I suggest a test fit and measure for spacers..

Looking at a set of 18" MkV R32 Omanyt wheels. I have found they are et51. Will I need spacers for these? They are for our 12 Tiguan S.


Thanks in advance!

With that high of an offset you'll probably need spacers in order for the tires to clear the front struts.

Ok thanks. I figured I would need them but wanted some other opinions. I will just test fit them before ordering spacers.

Color of your tig is gorgeous.


I'm still trying to decide on wheels. I kinda want the OEM look of Savannah's but I don't like the new style I like the silver old style. They've been pretty hard to find.

Also curious has anyone put CCW classics on a tig? I've got a friend with a set that will work and I'm thinking about it.
