Volkswagen Tiguan wheel fitment — I 5N
Volkswagen Tiguan wheel fitment
Volkswagen Tiguan wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the Volkswagen Tiguan (I) 5N (2007–present).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 57.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 120 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–9.5J | ET28–ET45 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
Overview
The Volkswagen Tiguan (I) is a compact crossover SUV produced by Volkswagen from 2007 to 2018. It was based on the PQ46 platform and featured two-row seating with transversely mounted four-cylinder engines. The first generation Tiguan was initially shown as a concept vehicle at the LA Auto Show in November 2006, followed by its production form revealed online in June 2007 before being officially launched at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in September 2007.
