18 Inch Rims

May I ask Why the swop ?

theres a set available on ebay....vw dealer from melbourne selling a set for 500

I think I read somewhere that you can jack up the standard steel springs on the 2010 Touareg 2" higher with a set of aftermarket shocks or struts?

I like the jacked up look and the higher ground clearance as I will be doing some off-road travel. My 2010 Touareg TDI has 20" OEM rims with low profile tires and they look great, but I'm not sure I would want to take these rims and low profile tires off-road?

I found a full set of 17" OEM rims & tires (that I can use chains on) for $875 on eBay (take-offs with less than 300 miles). These tires have exactly the same outside diameter as the 18" and 19" OEM rims and tires which was a big surprise.

Does anyone know which of these three OEM rim and tires choices would be best for off-road use?

Hi Kevin, In Brisbane I have a set of 18 inch Cayenne rims with tyres that I am thinking of getting rid of. Send me a PM if you are interested.

Doing a 4wd trip and can not get the required tyres in a 19 inch rim. So I intend to get an additional set of wheels in 18 inch rims for when off roading. Simpson desert trip pulling a camper trailer.

G'Day mate.. Took a look on Ebay but could not find the rims/wheels you spoke about. Were 19inch and a 20 inch but no 18inch rims.
Naybe send me the link if they are still there as I could not find in my search.
