The Official Mk1 Tiguan Wheel Thread

How would a set of 19x9 +33's go on a Tiguan?

have found these for a reasonable price but they are in Melbourne and i cant trial fit them before i buy them.

They would stick out further than the guards so you would need a set of arch extensions ($500 or so) to make it legal.
8.5 ET35 site dead on flush at the top.

Mines 19"x8.5, Et35 but I think u said mine looks like just 5mm short of flushed?

The problem is that if you go up to 9 inches wide it sitcks out too far so 8.5 ET35 is pretty much the best you can get while being legal.

Mine originally came with the 19x9 et 33 Omanyt wheels which sat too far in for me and I had originally planned on using 10mm spacers. I'm now running 19x8 et 35 Golf R replicas with 20m spacers and they sit just about perfect now for me.

Are you sure those specs are accurate?
If so, the new wheels should actually sit further in than the omanyt wheels.

Yes the specs are spot on. R Line wheels are 19x9 et 33. I didn't want to go more than 20mm wide spacers so opted for them and I find the look perfect. I just need to lower it slightly now.

Dan, i reckon it must be the angle from where your photo was taken... Yours should be a little bit wider than mine, as i have 245 tyres compared to your 255's, with the same size rim. Mine are almost flush at the top.
