Just wondering if they're going to fit/be legal.

Then to select a tyre....

Were these OEM or aftermarket? Offsets on Type R and Scirocco won't suit Tig so wondering where these would have come from if they were genuine VW parts.
How much are you asking for your wheels? And what size tyres do you have fitted?
Though I think shipping costs from the UK may be prohibitive....

Hi there they are reps and were very hard to track down because they mainly come in et45 which would have sat too far inside my R Line arches. I think I bought the last set left in et35 in the UK at the time.

As I simply swapped over the alloys with the OEM 19 inch Omanyt's I'm currently running 255/40/19's on there which is a tiny bit on the wide side but the perfect width tyre would be 235 or 225 for a little stretch.

I have them listed on ebay at the moment as well but not sure I can put up the link here. If you're interested in them send me a PM buddy.

For those interested, there's a current promotion direct from VMR especially for Australian customers.

Don't tempt me mate :D. I'm telling myself to focus on performance mod first before slapping any cosmetic enhancement :)

I'm a fairly boring person when it comes to wheel colour, Hypersilver will be the one for me.

I always think that if I am about to embark on performance mods, I'd work on the basics first: tyres, brakes before upping power.

I thought that too but the Tig has proven itself to be capable even up to stage 2.
suspension would be the only other mod i would be considering.

Compared to the stock Evo and GTR brakes, which I felt confident would take some Stage 1-2 improvements, I'm not as confident about the stock Tiguan brakes.

Any good workshops in Brisbane area that has Tiguan specific brake lines that they can install and flush properly as well?
