can anyone help coz i need to know this aswell, im planning on lowering my car 60mm and then getting 16"s

oooh 60 maybe a problem im sittin on 16's at the mo with 195 45 r16 tyres and lowered 30mm you get rubbing in the front arches on fullish lock and the back arch liner is a funny shape so you get rubbing one ther so either you take it out or do wat i did and heat it up with a heat gun and bend it so they dont rub

you could prob go 40 to 50 but 60 i dunno!

[h4r1s]

what if i get lower profile tyres, then will i able to down to 60mm, or i will have to get 15"s

Will i have any trouble lowering 60mm with the current standard SE wheels i have with tyres 185/55/r14?

ive got clearance issues aswell im hoping i dont have to go for 15s

[stani540]

dont go for 15's dont talk stupid sixteens are perfect on the polo
with a lil work 60 may work but some arch rolling maybe required

but as i said if u look at the linig in the back arches its got a stupid kink in so heat it up with a heat gun and slam it between two btis of wood to flatten it is what i did and have no probs now or just leave the off!

on 185's should be a problem only minor work if any but its worth it cos u will be sittin pretty on sixteens and it will all eb worth it!
