Hey everyone, new to forum based in Perth WA . I’ve got a 2013 V6 TDI 180kw version Treg. Pretty stock standard. Looking to slowly upgrade for touring. Been searching gumtree for rims and tyres to suit 4wd on beach / off-road. Nothing too hard core but the standard 20in rims and tyres obviously no good for deflating. Any tips welcomed. Excited to be part of this forum. Cheers

Welcome.
Another Perth'ite. Wow, we seem to be taking over this place.
Consider looking at Eastern States as a source.
I picked up 5 x 19" Porsche Cayenne rims (2nd hand but excellent condition) for about $105 incl freight (Pre-Covid). Sourced them from AGR Tyres
They were excellent to deal with.
Once the rims arrived, I then sourced AT+ tyres locally here in Perth.

No worries, figured it was that. 19inch though still seems a bit big for the rims - does that allow enough side wall for the tyres - assume the overall diameter is the same as the current specs so it doesn’t throw out the speedo?

good question.
My OEM wheels are 21"...so moving down to 19s was a workable solution for me.
For you, 18" will most likely be the best solution.

No worries, cheers! Let the parts hunting begin!!! 😊

You can fit 17 inch wheels too.

Make sure you buy wheels with 5x130 PCD.

2.5 Tdi Touaregs wore 5x120 and the current Generation 3 cars wear 5x112.

 

[Wildmanwalker]

Cheers. Just looked up what you were talking about Re size/PCD…now know more about bolt patterns! 😊

 

[TommiT]

As above Porsche used 5x130, and so did Audi.

Did you see my ad? I'm still trying to get rid of them.

Four VW Khartoum Rims & AT Tyres

I've sold the Touareg but still have this second set of rims with off-road tyres. The rims are VW Khartoum 8J x 18 ET57 with PCD 5x130. I've worn them on both my 2007 7L as well as my 2016 7P without any issues. The tyres are General Grabber AT2 255/55 R18 109H (Made in Czech Republic) with...

Didn’t see this before. What you chasing for them? Ideally prefer if in WA but can check on transportation cost if suitable. Cheers
