15s without lowering?

[JoeG07]

silly me, i made the stupid mistake of thinking the size of the wheel could be calculated with a mesaure tape. oh how wrong was i?

[bstardchild]

Bstarschild I dont know whether its the ground you have parked on but your car looks quite high compaired to mine in the pic your posted up. Im on 195/45/15's also but it just looks lower thats all. I definately need to get it lowered soon tho.

It stayed like that for week and then it got dropped

Mine WHEN it WASNT lowerd:
these are 15's

[Hardcore]

if you put 15's on. how much would you recomend lowering by... because if just bought sum 15's :O bieng deliverd in 8 weeks:O how flopin long away is that!

[Bepe]

well, are you going to be buying coilovers? springs? springs+shocks? if its coilovers, just wound down till your happy, springs i would say about 60mm MAX, and also depends on what tyres you will be running, in that pic they were 195/50/15

Look at the tyre size! You're never going to get it right messing about with a tape measure. Look at the tyre size info on the sidewall.

Or, alternatively, it may be stamped into the back of the wheel.

Bloody hell, haven't seen you post on here in ageeeesss!! Did you sell the Polo or something?

Nope still got it - just life got in the way a bit

is this gonna look terrible? i read a post and most of you said its gonna look like its on stilts haha any1 got any pics of 15s without lowering? cheers

Mine looked pretty bad with 15" BBS RA rims with 195/50/15s. I got 40mm Pi suspension kit from my old car if you want a cheap kit. One of the front shocks is slightly bent so you might wan2 use factory front shocks with 40mm springs and change the whole rear to shocks and springs.

in my eyes 15's look gash on a polo that isnt lowered......actually any polo looks gash when it isnt lowered IMO of course!

195/45/15 Standard ride height:



The garages aren't actually leaning over like that, its just me, the camera & car that are leaning downhill
