Hey guys!

Nice idea for a thread topic. I would like to contribute in order to help all avoid the issues I went through with my new wheels. As many of you may have read on my other threads ("new wheels" and "huge vibrations in Tiguan") I went through hell with wheel issues.

As I am unable to repost the pics of the wheels properly, can someone please put them up on this thread for me? They can be found in the other threads just mentioned.

Thanks for your help!
Tigger

Thanks Transporter!!!!!!

yep thats my car, (when it had the Advant Concept 18 x 9 wheels and Hankook tyres)

Loved the look and ride, but after approx 500 kms the car develped an unbearable shake at 115 kmh and up...As noted in the previous thread "huge vibrations in tiguan" it turns out that these were a few mms out in a couple of the holes, which wore loose the tight fit.

also the bolts were suspected as not being appropriate for the vehichle...

Such a shame, as I have had to go back to the standard 16" wheels which is killing me!!

Be careful with your choices guys, and make sure you go to a reputable place. (even though I went to a large "brand name" tyre shop, they still did not know what they were doing...)

Thats why you do it properly and stick with OEM wheels.

That's a bit of a simplistic statement as there are some excellent after market wheel makers and retailers. Anyhoo, the Savannahs look great, awesome offset.

Ok had my car up on a hoist today so was able to check the offset on my RS4 replicas. ET40 with 235/50/18 tyres

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum. Just got my Pepper grey MY11 Tiguan and now have installed H&R springs and Giovanna Kilis rims (20x8.5", ET35)
I think they fill out the arches nicely and have a great concave look side profile:

Hey All,
Does any one know the offset of Audi A5 Wheels?
I'm looking at a second hand set of 18inch wheels from an A5, details are a bit scetchy, but they are fitted with 245/45/18 tyres and have the correct stud pattern.
I wish to fit them to my MY13.5 TDi Tiguan...

Any advice welcome!!
Cheers
