The Official Mk1 Tiguan Wheel Thread

Where do i find this 'for sale' listing?

Send me a pm mate. I can't make a thread and don't want to be that new wanker that clogs up threads.

New wheels are 2 piece jap items. Just so everyone is aware haha

Audi A4 B6 wheel specs. Interesting.

These are currently being built for me. Work meister S1 3P 19x9 +35 step lipped matte gunmetal centre. Unfortunately 3 piece wheels have predetermined offsets so that's the best I could do without being sitting an inch out stock guards. Has "A" face so 71mm dish. About 6 weeks away from being built and delivered. Custom wheels suck haha

Wow.
I think that is going to be a first.

And i thought my wheels were JDM haha.

Looking for R type wheels and found these - 18x8.0 R Spec Silver
Not sure they'll go on a Tiguan though with 8" ET45...needs to be 33 or 35?

ET45 on a 8" wheel will fit (sit marginally inside the guards).
ET35 will fit and will be flush with the guards.

So that would mean 18x9 et45 would be flush to the guards as well?

A 9" ET45 will extend 3mm further than the 8" wheel with an ET35 so i would say probably just outside the guards.
Having said that it also takes up 23mm more space on the cabin side of the wheel arch so you would have to see if it would fit there.

Cheers for the advice. Seems I'll go with 18x8.0 ET35 with a 255/45 R18 tyre.
