Cheap Tiguan (compatible) wheels

[Simonr23]

I’d like a cheap set of wheels and tyres for basic off-road driving.

I’m hoping that there will be other vw vehicles that use the same stud and offset numbers as the current Tiguan/allspace, so I can buy a second hand set of 16’s to put tyres on.

Please tell me I’m correct. Or feel free to recommend a cheap supplier of wheels that are suited.

Cheers.

Will mk1 Tiguan 16’s fit? Found a cheap set online.

Not sure but I have heard that 16's won't clear your front brakes (you'd need to test fit to be sure).

Also tyres from a mk1 Tig will be wrong size so you'll need to swap these off for something the correct profile (to keep speedo accurate).

That's what I did.

Replaced rubber with some A/T tyres (225/70R16) - great stuff!

I’ve got a cheap set of 16” 5x112 CSA Essen wheels that have a 215/65r16 Yokohama GO15 all terrains. They fit my Passat Alltrack quite well with no rubbing of note. Tiguan wheel arch is bigger than a Passat isn’t it?

What tyres and size did you get?

17” rims, 225/65 pirelli scorpion all-terrain plus tyres.

The brake calipers must be so close on the 16’s. I only have about 10mm clearance with these particular wheels.
