20 Inch Rims On The Tiguan

[cubes]

Thanks, like I stated earlier don't fear the low profile tyre big wheel setups, the compromise in comfort is almost negligable IMHO, the Tigs suspension is a modern (as modern as macpherson struts can be) refined setup and should even out things. If you are offroading might be a diffeent story.

That looks excellent!! I wasn't too sure about your choice of rims at first but they look hella good on What's the wheel width and offset?

Now I want 20"s, I hate you!!

And another one with all the wheels on, just need the springs in to close up the gap, acording to the tracking info they just cleared customs in Aus so 3 or so days.

That looks amazing!

I'ts still a bit high but I definitely don't think they are sticking out past the guards, size again is ET35 20 x 9 , I should be the one envious, now I need to chip it: all show and some go (can't say No go cause the Tig is no slouch in the midrange). Style wise they look a little like the new 19 wheels on the GT R coming out soon with split 5 spoke design so they kind off suit the Golf/Tiguan platform.

welp, that's it. I have to get 19s now. 18" is just not big enough. 20 is too big for me as I do some light offroading but I do enjoy seeing the pics. Thanks!

Why does the price difference between 18" wheels/tires and 19" have to be like $300+? Oh well.

x2, could be the first Aussie Tig with 20"s I think?

There has been a Black Tig in Toowoomba with niiiiiice chrome 20's for a good couple months. Looks like a million bucks.

Shop around I got my tyres (aus spelling) from the US from http://onlinetires.com should be able to find a quality 19 tire for US$120 to $220 in a 255/40/19. Onlinetire tires get mixed reviews online but they actualy made the effort to ring me in Australia to confirm the details of the order, a bit slow to reply online but their personalised service gets the thumbs up in my book not to mention paying US$107 for tyrenormally worth $400.

Was looking at the wheels from the front at 3/4 view and the rear wheel track sits just rite, have to get a photo from that angle now, I have been a bit like the guy from the Colorbond adds all day.

cubes that looks awesome! Love the 20" on it. It will look sensational once you get the springs. Then the reamp and you'll have a very hot tig! Love it!

I would be sticking with 19's since I know I can source them locally if i ever get into a pickle.

Still, the 20's look the goods, can't wait to see more pictures of it and the lowering goodness.

Very nice. Great choice in wheel design, suits the car.
Now I can see why people say you have to lower it with 20 inch wheels.

The springs are at the post office awaiting pickup after 10am tommorrow, I will book in to fit the springs asap. Just have to pop ou and get more photos, reason I went for the Audi rep because I thoght they would look like a factory optioned wheel which they do (to me anyway) in real life.

They do have that factory looks.

Just a shame that VW don't get the nicer designs like Audi do.
I guess its like getting hand-me-downs from your brother though, it can still fit and look good.

Check out th 2010 Golf Gt R they have 19" wheels with a similiar look, they should be available for the aftermarket in original an replica form over the coming months
