Glad to hear it.

Banking on 21x9.5 ET32

A 21 x 9.5 ET32 what?

I don't think you truly want to know Dutch77, considering your penchant for OEM/OEM+...

Nothing wrong with a set of Vossen flow formed wheels.

Personal preference but I like the HF3. The HF5 reminds me of Ford XR-5 wheels

Nothing wrong with either there - unlike tigger73 I actually don't instantly see a Ford wheel and think the HF5 sorta suits the slightly rugged Tiguan (more than say a Golf).

I like an OEM+ look, but I don't think I've had an OEM look since putting a five spoke ROH on a VS Commodore in the 90s lol.

And my thoughts on Suzukas are well known..

you know, it's not even the worst comparison - i've got a mate who refuses to call the HF5's anything other than 'vacuums heads'... personally i don't see it.

this sounds like peak 90's-2000's commodore aesthetics. the only thing wrong is you went with ROH and not simmons

As an Adelaide lad I had a factory direct supplier at the time..

Awesome thread and keen to see some more aggressive setups. Looking at getting 21x10.5 +35 wheels, but the biggest worry is probably the inner clearance to the suspension (22mm less inner clearance with the setup). Just planning ahead so will keeping an eye on this thread 🙂

Yes I believe 10.5" is achievable, however you're running very close to the limits both to the suspension and to poking from the guards. I know some guys in the US are running these types of aggressive setups, however some areas/regions are also a bit less lax in terms of laws for poke.

Fitment may also come down to tyre selection so you may want to end up running a more stretched tyre to gain you a bit more clearance which then questions why you go for a wide rim and run a stretched tyre... Personal preference and the looks you're going for/want to achieve. But you're definitely pushing close to the boundaries of what fits on our cars.
