The larger the rim, the larger the tyre – and the smaller the amount of space between the wheel and the surrounding vehicle body. This means that not all approved wheel/tyre combinations are suitable for snow chains. Therefore, the part-specific technical reports contain a “yes/no” field for snow chains alongside the listed combinations.
So, before selecting a rim or complete wheel, make sure you think about whether you can do without the option of having snow chains. If you have any questions concerning snow chains and their various types, fitting and approval with different wheel and tyre combinations, contact your Volkswagen Dealer.
