unfortunately we are all having to put up with that. the non-optional option... Must say though, I am happy with my 17's. tyre choice for them is still adequate.

What brand of tyres come from the factory?

at least with the 17's you get the fender flares

Exactly why I am happy with the 17's!!

The factory tyres are 245/65/17 Bridgestone Dueler H/P

265/70/17 will fit no issues at all.
285/70/17 will require a lift, cutting a bit of the inner gaurd and different offset rims

The reason for the lack of 16" is that whenever Volkswagen launches a model, they order the initial launch stock. When doings so, they tend to go a little heavy handed on the options...sorry guys. On a positive - if you order 16" you won't get the wide wheel arches!

Christian,
do you a webpage or photos of the difference in the wheel arches as the brochure pics must all be wide arches as I can see the difference.

I have nothing "on file", but if you look at the base modell here:

you get an idea. Probably a 1/3 of the width if extended arches are fitted?
On a positive note/thought, you should be able to get the arches through "parts", so if you want the 16" for better choice of tyres or after market rims, just get a T/Line with normal tyres & arches and add the other stuff later...
