The Official Mk1 Tiguan Wheel Thread

Golf offset wouldn't be too great for a Tig either from memory.

Agreed.
You would want somewhere between a 35 and a 45 for wheels in the 8-9" wide range.

Nice looking wheels indeed, what size? Enkeis?

Picking up my Tig in 2 weeks and wondering if anyone has bought 18" wheels from a dealer, and if so what did you pay? My 125 is coming with 16" and the dealer said getting 18" would be expensive and I'd be better off buying from the US?

I got my 19" wheels from the US for $1700
Add $1k for rubber to that and i am happy.


18" will no doubt be less pricey than that and it really depends on what type of wheels you are after.
VMR/Rotiform etc will be around the 1k figure for 18's from memory.

Thanks team_v, factoring in $1k for rubber and thinking these guys look pretty good, $890 for 18" replicas:

Anyone sold the stock 16" recently? Is ~ $900 with tyres reasonably if they're brand new?

Jesus that is a bit more than i was expecting!
I would say $800 max?

My 19" reps of the other R32 style wheel are going for 1k.

I sold my stock 16's with rubber for $600 but you can probably get around $800-$900
Might be best if you can find 4 people who want a full sized spare and split it $200 each.

[Pullstarter]

I split mine and got $550 for the tyres and $400 for the wheels, both as new condition. If you split them they appeal to a wider audience, not just Tig owners. Wheels went to a Golf owner, tyres to an Xtrail owner.

[Guest001]

Nice, I'll split and put in the for sale section when aforementioned Tig finally arrives.

anyone know if wheels of this size will fit on a tig, pcd is right but offset is off a bit, but in the ballpark

SIZE: 18X8, OFFSET: 39P

tyres be 235/60/18's, know present tig tyres are 215's, so not sure with the offset difference if that will work? ie whether getting close to rubbing on the inside or the other way pushing outside the wheel arches

I can research more, but thought there would be a few here who would just know
