Awesome! thanks very much. I have not even seen those before and it's good to know they will also fit rims from Tire Rack.The hubcaps are these which can be found online in several places. It says they fit a Tiguan, but they just snap over the wheel bolts, so they fit any 5x112 VW bolt pattern if you are running steel wheels for winter.

The wheels were from Tire Rack, originally bought for the wife's Beetle. (I have another set on the GTI for winter).

Damn, that's a close fit on that strutSo before I order wheels I wanted to do some fitting. Hopefully this will give some insight to some folks that are like me. I like a max width fitment without crazy aggressive pokey offsets and minimum/mildly stretched tires. And if you aren’t like me and you want more aggressive fitment maybe this can help you.
My test fit subject is 19x9.5 et 43 wheel with a 255/40r19 Nexen N5000 Platinum tire. I brought along some spacers but in my opinion for my desired fitment on the front I didn’t need the spacers to accomplish my goal. To match the poke front to rear I estimate I will need 12mm spacer on the back. I’ll sort that out when my new wheels arrive.

Inner wheel to strut clearance is about 5mm

I bought the same wheels hoping to get them on without a suspension modification, but I'm reading there will be a rubbing problem...Can you tell me exactly what suspension mod you did?SEL with

What are you hung up on? What’s your deciding factor?I need help… lol. I’m stuck between 19x8 and 18x8 inch rims.
I want a nice ride as well as some side wall for the everyday bump in the road. Was thinking of doing 235/45r18 on a 18x8.What are you hung up on? What’s your deciding factor?

Looks great but isn’t the speedometer off?Installed my H&R lowering springs a couple weeks ago. Wheels and tires were put on a couple weeks prior to that.
Wheels are Beyern Damon 19x9.5 et39 in a matte gunmetal/brushed finish. Tires are 255/40r19 Nexen N5000 Platinum. Fitment is perfect IMO. Ride quality is great.
