Gen 2 Tiguan Wheels Thread

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.

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?

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.

I'm sure these will all elicit positive responses.

Flashback from the 90s! I bet they huff and puff like a steam train too.

Found these on the BBS fb page. CHR in 22", unsure on width and offset. Might be staggered, 9 and 10 ET30 or something like that.

Love the CH-Rs on the Tiguan - solid fill.

Might need more convincing on the smoked front headlight and exhaust treatment though.

Hi all - I have a 162 Highline (no R-line pack) and thinking about fitting the R-line 20inch wheels. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm particularly interested if and how the ride quality is compromised given the standard Highline doesn't have the Adaptive Suspension that comes with the R-line pack. Any thoughts?
