20 Inch Rims On The Tiguan

Check tis link halfway down the pagethere is a black tig with what appears to be 20"s
Overall they cost Au$404 or US$375.99 and US$239 for the springs alone. A bit for freight compared to other things I have imported from the US but they're reasonably heavy.

?? I posted a couple of pics of the tyres on the wheels on the page 2? They are Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetrict 255/35/20

sorry cubes, didn't realise the tyres with them. Awesome tyres from all accounts. I looked at them for the 19".

Tt's ok, for some reason the 255/35 /20s were generaly cheaper than the 255/40/19 ith mot brands and for that specific tyre the price was exceptional. Got them from www.Onlinetires.com

That's not a bad price for shipping from ECS, they quoted me something ridiculous once so I never went back. Maybe they've woken up to themselves.

Here is a quick comparison of the factory 16" wheel and 215/65 tyre compared to a 20" wheel with a 255/35 tyre on my newly arrived Tiguan actualy picked up today.
As a matter of interest the factory fitted tyres were Hankook Dynapro HP, as amtter of fact every Tigaun in stock with 16"s had the hankkoks.

Get em on!!!!!!!

God damn you Cubes, that looks awesome and they aren't even fitted yet.

Can just imagine how it will look when they are on and dropped a bit.
The tig is so versatile.

I was going to take them to a tyre joint to fit them quickly but I might do them manually one at time myself, the tyres and wheels are all balanced an ready to go. The springs should be here within a week or so, can't wait.

Please, if you do it yourself, get a good side on photo with one 16 and one 20 inch wheel

x2, will be good to see the comparison.

I thought if you got anything larger than 18" wheels that you needed special wheel flares or something?

I've got 19" and no problems, even with the lowered springs.

Depends on width and offset more than diameter Suparockin.

Can't remember if I mentioned it but wheels are ET35 offset where most of the Audi replicas available in Aus. are ET45, I wanted the 35 offset that's why I got them from the US, they will be closer to the outer edge but then again the savanagh 19 has a 33 offset so 2mm extra outward and it runs a 255 tyre.

I will try and get 16 and 20 side on shot since I will be doing one wheel at a time.

not meaning to high jack the thread, but I've just posted some pics here of 19" x 9" with 35 offset running 245/40 tyres if anyone's interested.
