If youve got wide enough wheels you could.

195/40/16 tyres are the ones you SHOULD be running if you have 16's on a polo
195/45 are too much grief, if the cars lowered they won't like your arches and will rub on full lock
195/40 tyres look very sexy too as they are nice and low profile

well at the mo, ive got 195/45 and its lowered -60mm and i still got full lock.... with no scrubbin, but over big bumps it does bottom out.
she is only sat on a set of gmax, damper and springs

looks like a 195/40 tyre and a set of coils i should be able to get about the -80mm mark (i hope)
