Anyone tried Tiguan alloys on the RS?

Has anyone tried or know of any RS with 19" Tiguan alloys fitted?
I've got a set of VW 19x9 et33 Mallory alloys and was wanting to fit them but can't find any pics anywhere of anybody that's already tried.

They will fit fine, except that you need spacers in order to have them look good.

Yeh was thinking about 5mm spacers to take them to 1mm outside of standard as my car is lowered so don't want them rubbing the arches

If I were you, I would put 10mm up front and 12mm on the rear. Main reason is that you can only get hubcentric spacer from 8mm upwards, which would reduce the chance of vibration. Secondly, it would be like 6mm and 8mm on standard wheels and you definitely would not have any problems with rubbing.

Here they are with 10mm spacers that leave about 3mm clearance of the calliper.
Not sure about the silver so going to change them to satin black.
Not worth putting on until after the winter now though.
