15s or 16s for my car?

Post by scotia_polo »

Just been thinkin about whether I should get 15" alloys or 16" alloys for the polo, its lowered 60mm at front and 40mm at back so I am just wondering If I put 16s on it will it raise the polo by a lot? Any opinions will be greatly appeciated!Cheers!

what rims are you running at the moment?
i have 16"s on my polo at -75mm all round and its quite low.
basically whatever its sitting at now + your wheel size i.e 15" if you go for 16's your car will raise roughly half an inch and so on, if you go for smaller wheels the reverse effect will happen due to the increased diameter of the wheel.
im thinking of going for 15's for my next alloys, so i'll have anb extra half an inch drop

When I changed my wheels I told myself I shouldve gone for 16s as being dished they looked smaller... but theyve grown on me

15s all theway!

Unless you want to litterally hit the deck when some 13x7 ATS classics will do the job :lol:
