16" wheels and lowered about 50mm... looks awesome! To behonst, with 17" wheels you need a very low profile and so the ride is VERY s**t and hard. I hit a pot hole@ 60mph with 17" wheels in my last polo and it was like dropping the car off a f*****g building...

Seriously, go for 16" or you will loose any comfort the polo has!

plus, the handling will start to do with bigger wheels, aswell as losing speed

my car on little wheels, feels so stable at high speeds now,

i just put some 205-17 on mine doesnt rub at all but suspension is standard (for now) the offset seem the same the wheels sit right under the arch how much could i drop it without problems as iv been throught all that arch biz before and cant be asked seems odd asking if 17s will fit when i had 19s on my nk4 turbo an remmber asking if 20s would fit any way nuf of that cheers guys.

35mm rubbing on full lock
40mm rubbing on full lock + rubbing @ back sometimes
60mm rubbing on full lock + rubbing @ back alot

Im rubbing on full lock at the Mo with standrd suspension (non gti) and 15's
Could this be a problem when i try to lower it.

i would say so the archs are prob smaller not being a gti and with standard suspension on 15s mines on 17 with 205 tyres with standard set up no rubbing what does every body else think
