Just got some time to install the Wheel Arch Extensions on my Tiguan.
First side is a PITA, the instructions are terrible. While I was doing that I also tried some new wheels as well.
Wheels are original Audi 19x9 +33 hollow spoke wheels.
Its not gonna be everyones cup of tea, but I like it.

Yeah, the emergency jack is a scary contraption. Unfortunately for me, we're currently building a house so all of my good tools/gear has been packed away.Originally Posted by MGV

Looking good. So you finally managed to get your wheels sorted out I see
What are you doing about tyres? What size are you going now that you have your wider guards? Something fatter... X5ish?
Keen to see it all fitted up. Are you going to lower it too or keep stock springs in?
I'm thinking mine may be in the need for some lowering springs... just waiting until the new wheels get fitted.

Yeah, finally got the wheels. Great price too, $1200.
Tyres are gonna be the standard size 255/40/19 (same as on the tyre card on the car). Currently just waiting on hub rings to arrive (from the US $24 delivered).
As for the brand of tyres, thats still being worked on. Kumho KU22 have some good reviews and can get them at $230 per corner fitted.
Springs are not happening, currently negotiating for some KW coilovers.

Hey mate,Avdo - looks good! Are they the "C" part number versions
these ones are just the normal part number 5N0 071 681 041, few people told me that they wouldn't fit but I had no issues fitting them to the car.
Your car, being a 2012/13 model, I think you will need the "C" part number, purely because of the location of the Park Assist Sensor on the bumpers.

Little Update, managed to get the wheels onto the car.
I dont think I needed the Wheel arch extensions.
