Gen 2 Tiguan Wheels Thread

Hi guys I have a 2017 Tiguan with the 255/45R20 Suzuka wheels. The plate on the drivers side door indicates 235/55R18 as one of the OEM sizes. Am I correct in assuming that if i switch out for this size then the speedo will still be ok? Does anyone know where I find the rim offset information for myself?

Also how do I go about making sure the Typre Pressure Monitoring will still work if I switch rims?

I'd like to switch out to Yokohama Geolanders

Many thanks in advance and Merry Belated Xmas!

Are the wheel sizes on the placard strictly the only sizes compatible etc?

By switching out to an OEM wheel and tyre size, your speedo will be fine. Almost an imperceptible difference that any mere mortal will notice.

I cannot assist with the offset though.

As far as the TPMS goes, VW generally use the ABS sensors to detect different rotational speeds as an indicator of tyre pressure differences. At least my old MY07 Jetta and my current MY21 Tiguan uses the ABS sensors.

Best wishes

Thanks for that! Makes this endeavour much more simple!

I see the OEM 18s for the Tiguan are 235/55R18 with offset 43 and width 7. Some listed aftermarket options are offset 45 and width 8. Does anyone know if these values work?

You can afford to go up to 35 offset with 9" width on a non-Rline (or +30 and 8.5" width). That's what I'm running and the fronts are just inside the line of the guard.

The 18/19x8 +45 is typical Golf aftermarket size to get flush fitment. You can afford to be ~10-15mm more aggressive with width/offset than Golf setups. You can always measure your current setup to see how much clearance you have and how much more width/offset you can run. punch the numbers into an online calculator will tell you the (relative) fitment between your stock set-up and the one that you're proposing: Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator.

I have the Rline, what difference does that make compared to non-rline? Is it the brakes/rotors?

Trying to figure out if a 18x9 et25 with 265/45R18 will rub

Got my Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 powdercoated in satin black :)

R-line has (slightly) flared arches which allows another ~10mm offset/width.
