Whats up guys! Im back and this time I went a little bigger....

305/60r18 Mickey Thompson MTZs! on 18" Cayenne Wheels.

35mm Wheel Spacer and 57mm Lift Using the factory air suspension.

Here are the results...

The details are I had to trim my rocker in the front to make clearance for turning, VCDS allowed me to raise the front about 40mm before getting upset so I had to shorten the sensor arms to trick the system into thinking the vehicle was sitting lower than it actualy is and that gave me my additional 17mm. the rear was raised completely with VCDS.

Its good to be back and im so much happier with the look of the 305/60r18 vs the skinnier tire on my TDI

Thanks!
Dillon

Those sensors in the front were shorten by how much ? And from which arm? The one on the sensor or the shaft in the middle?

Stuart, I have PMed you, I am excited about putting together a write-up with you!


Thank you for the kind words everyone.

Also, newfinish,

Rock sliders are next on the list for sure. Gotta protect those rockers! There is a company called Iron Rock Offroad that I bought parts from back in my Jeep days. I am thinking about ordering a set of rock sliders from them for a Grand Cherokee and modifying them to fit the Touareg. Not sure on the specifics yet but I will keep everyone posted.

Thanks!

I think Aussie member Odessa may have ended up with the sliders that Alex Gee originally fabricated, he may be able to help with specifics on mounting points etc.

Was wondering if you could measure a couple things on your rig.. wheel opening to ground distance and wheel opening to center of the wheel.. both front and rear would be great.

Also when you said you had to cut the rocker to fit the tires.. any photos of that area would be great... I would love to replicate your setup but with a steel spring 05 model..

Thanks
