Has anyone seen the dealer prices to upgrade the wheels? 19" or 20" on a comfortline would be nice. In the old model Tiguan, the largest wheels needed plastic flares to fit them. I'm wondering if there is any guard changes to fit the R Line 20" wheels. Doesn't appear so.
EDIT: wow, I just checked the price of the 20" tyres - $400+ each!

I really hate what they've done with the packaging on the new Tiguan. Previously you could select rims etc. I wanted the Rline but with 17in rims so I could put All Terrains on them. You'd have to buy the rims as an accessory...they ain't cheap and then you've got 4 extra rims...

Didn't get the Rline for this reason, pity because I really wanted Adaptive Chassis Control.

Any pics of the 18 inch wheels that come standard with the Highline?

Wheels: BBS CH-R 2
Specs: TBC

[Dutch77]

Can't go wrong with BBS CH-R II, although for a Tig I'd settle for the cheaper (and cleaner looking) CH-Rs - two piece has a motorsport feel and seems more suited to the Golf.

Nice find though, I hadn't come across this one yet.

Hey guys, I know I might make some people cringe, but I am thinking about getting a highline TDI with the R-line package but I want to put some all terrain tires. Like coopers ect. Because I will be going along some gravel roads.

But I don't want the 20inch wheels and need some 17 inch wheels which would still look good and be able to take all terrains but not affect over tyre height..
Any help would be appreciated

I'm looking at the 132 Highline and just realised it comes with the Tulsa's. Sh*t.

Each to their own - having seen them in person I reckon they look pretty smart.

[Gladbach]

Yeah, for the midrange variant I think they look quite nice too. A lot better than the equivalents on some of the competitors vehicles.

Hi All,

Has anyone looked into replacing the Space Saver Wheel and rim with a narrow but full speed rated tyre and rim combo?

I am keen to swap the Space Saver soon after I get my new Tiguan.

Thank you,
David

If it isn't the same size wheel and tyre as the others then it will still be counted as a space saver & therefore speed limited.

eg: On the Octavia, the alloys were 16x6.5 ET50 with a 205/55r16. The spare was a 16x6.5 ET50 with exactly the same tyre. The only difference was a steel whell. It was counted as a temporary spare & speed limited to 80kph. Of course, you could use it at any speed you wanted but if you had an accident doing 110kph then there probably would have been ramifications.
