Gen 2 Tiguan Wheels Thread

[Dutch77]

Of course one then gets curious..



(with the usual apologies for not being an artist)

Oh, and of course the original:



Was from Gepfeffert in Germany so running KW coils and advertised as "all black" - so I'll leave it to the Tigsters to take issue with leaving the grey strips.. grey.

Wheels will be MBDesign KV4, likely "black shiny", in a 20 x 9 sizing and offset somewhere in the 30-40 range (they have a few available).

Can Tigger or others help ID these rims? Are they OEM from the wider vag offerings?

These are some very helpful photos for fitment on stock or slightly lowered cars. The bagged/coilover cars could run 9.5+35 front and 10.5+35 rears.

I found some nice Audi mesh wheels from the TT but sadly they were 9+52.

And if you're running the arch extensions (R-line body kit) you can push it ~10mm more.

Came across these meaty wheels in my travels - fitted on Rotiform OZR 18":

Wow, that is an awesome look.

[tigger73]

Yeah they look great. Thanks for all your posts on this thread Dutch.

Edit - zoomed in and looks like a 255/55/18 tyre. What rim width and offset do you think that is? Also what level of drop?

Jump on the Rotiform website and the OZR comes in 18x8.5 +35 offset (also +45 in this style/size). Maybe mildly lowered but it's rricky to tell with those tyres on as they are over-sized.

Also wondering - does the Tig come with TPMS / tyre pressure management system/sensors?

If so, how does that impact upgrading to new wheels?

No sensors in the wheels. It's all done with electrickery off the ABS system. Just looks at speed sensors on each axle and works out if one wheel starts rotating more than others (i.e. is getting smaller/going flat).

the tigs in asia have individual tyre pressure monitoring. fairly jealous.

Welcome.. I come across a fair few Tigs in my Golf travels and I try to share those that tigger73 has not previously put up.

Wow, that is an awesome look.

It's definitely taking the wheel thing in the opposite direction.

Jealousy is the US forums discussing the fact there is a "GTI engined" Tig for the ROW. And in the future probably the R..

That's a very good point. It's understandable why the aftermarket parts scene for this car is so small. If it wasn't for the engine, I probably wouldn't have even considered purchasing it.

100% agreed. Don't really understand why - they have a bucket load of models even before options/colors but they all come with the same engine ~135kW. They all use the 8 speed auto box so I suspect that plays a part.

Without the the engine option it's just a solid SUV, but with it, it's the go-to for anyone who wants a bit of squirt pre-mod in that price range.
