It's been a while that these have been available, does anyone know if these will clear a GoWesty big brake kit?

It’s been a long time since I had this done, but I want to say the stock size was 52mm, and I had to bore them out to 54mm.
I know that’s not super helpful, but it was right around 2mm that needed to be removed from the lip of the Tiguan rims, which means there’s only a thin bit of the lip left when you’re done.
Hopefully someone can confirm that measurement.

They do, at least the second generation.
