Wheels are 18x9.5 work meister s1 2-piece, offset should be around +20, i had 265/40/18 michelin pilot sports all around n those were still fine and sat flushed. Also had 265/35/18 advan a048, kumho v70a and dunlop dz02g which all had no problems. The 275s that im looking at are Dunlop SP Sport series or Bridgestone Potenza series.

I'm running the same rims (Workmeister S1) in 18x10 +20 with 265 rubber and they j-u-s-t clear (had to flair the inner lips on the guards slightly). I guess the 275 on 18x9.5 would be around the same.

i have to be honest here. i can't see why you want 275 tyres in the first place? 265 is massive. and 255 is ample. especially on a 9.5inch rim a 275 will probably handle worse than a good 255 and the 275 will be heavier and more expensive.

no one can tell you for certain if it will fit or not. so many things will affect that. offset of your wheels? ride heigh of your car? castor setting? front camber? rear camber? height of bumptops? only way to find out is buy and try.

What he said! 275's would be craptacular on 9.5s.

    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
