The Official Mk1 Tiguan Wheel Thread

[Pullstarter]

Always wondered what they'd look like, pretty good IMO.

I have finally pulled the trigger for some RS4 replicas (I think), same as yours, Sharkie, but with ET35
Car is silver leaf in colour, should look ok.
$1500 with Kumho tyres and including delivery to Far North Qld.
I'll try and post a pikkie once they're on (and the car is washed!)

ET35 should look the goods, only had ET45 when i got mine

had ET 42 & ET 35 this time...
wonder what determines the sizes...?

[Pullstarter]

Probably whatever arrives on the boat i'd say?

Have taken my pre-delivery shopping to a whole new level.

S5 Replicas in Black Machined Face:
Size: 19 x 8.5
Offset: 42
Weight: 13.5kgs
Centre Bore: 66.6mm
(hub ring required to convert back to 57.1mm)










BTW, plan to offload my stock 17" Bostons & tyres, the very day I take delivery of my 147 (mid-December).

Please PM me any EOI or offers.

In the meantime, need to shop for 19" tyres!

Looks good!
I always liked the S5 style wheel.

I have the same size wheel and i am running 245/45R19 Kumho Ku31's.

Thanks mate!

Looking at Tire Rack at the moment, since the Aussie dollar's spooning the Greenback and giving it a real poke up the @$$.

Ahhh, make sure you get tyres that are correctly load and speed rated.
Tyre rack has a lot of good options as well like michelin pilot sport ps3's and goodyear eagle f1's

Yep.

Btw what's the load, speed rating and tyre wear on the Kumhos?
