    Winter tire rims - offset

    You are probably fine: Looking at Tirerack, they have 35mm offset 16" 7.5 wide wheels for the regular Golf. So a narrower 16x7 with 35mm will have enough clearance.

    Upgrade to LED headlights

    No interference with the one I have: Hikari LED H7 9600lm (which is available at Amazon again - https://www.amazon.com/HIKARI-Headlight-Conversion-Adjustable-Warranty/dp/B07GKRKN5B) Note that I'm only using regular HD radio, MP3s off an SD card, and Android Auto Spotify - no Sat Radio.

    Upgrade to LED headlights

    I have the exact same clips and light bulb as bsalih and it basically looked like this for me: The clip wobbles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFa-vBNSXK4&t=135s I used JB Weld like in the video and it works great – and it is also safe in terms of the temps. Regarding orientation: I have...

    Upgrade to LED headlights

    I’m running the budget HIKARI H7 9660LM and H7 LED Adapter H7 Retainers for VW (and other brands) and after some alignment I’m pretty happy with the increased light output (and it not being yellow light). However, I’m not really sure to recommend this setup. The H7 adapter does not work with...

    2018 eGolf - Trailer hitch for bike rack (or roof rack)

    I have the same Curt Hitch installed (See https://www.myvwegolf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2455&start=10#p19967). Just for a bike rack so no electrical wiring. It is an easy DIY install since the e-Golf has no muffler to remove. I actually did it in about 30 min crawling under the car w/o...

    Build Thread: Performance e-Golf

    For my rim/tire combo, the weight is (according to DTD's website) Rims König Interflow are 21.56 lbs and the tires (Goodyear F1 Eagle AS) are 24 lbs. Haven't measured it however. Cost mounted and shipped (with tax) was (after a 60 rebate) was ~$1000. Efficiency/Range impact: It's hard to...

    Build Thread: Performance e-Golf

    I upgraded to a set of 225/45-17 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric All-Season, and indeed there is a huge difference in grip and confidence compared to the OEM Bridgestone tires. A lot less wheel spin especially in the wet. Braking: I never tried an emergency braking before/after but I guess the...

    Need new tires...

    I decided to put on winter tires on the OEM rims, and got dedicated 17x8 rins with 225 wide tires for summer: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric All-Season (good reviews and on-sale) and I have to say it's a huge difference compared to the Bridgestone OEM tires. The ride is much more planted and I...

    Build Thread: Performance e-Golf

    Definitely not aerodynamic, but I cannot tell the difference with my commute (which is approx 25mph average). Rims are 17x8 with 225/45-17. Rim weight is ~21lbs. And there is a hitch for my bike rack (another 50lbs)

    Really dumb question about charging

    New e-Golf owner here: I’ve setup the “min charge” to 80% and an e-Schedule (7am departure, standard location) with 80% max charge. Yet, when I charge overnight (currently still with the 110v charger), I will go to 100%. What am I missing here? I inserted the plug last night and pressed the...
