Well its photoshopped so its not real,

To achieve that stance though you've gotta be looking at near enough fully wound down coilies

I'm going for 16's on the Artec AD Cups. I can't go any smaller cause of the front splitter. I know it would make a lot of sense to just remove the splitter and lower the thing but I really think I can achieve a very unique look by amalgamating two very different styles. Oh well...God knows best...we'll see how it turns out.

They're good, should look better with black centres too. Schmidts are like the high end of rims. Most wouldn't dare spend that much for polo shoes!

Just checked the dub site, and if there 16s they'll be 7.5" wide mate

You guys should check 'Dubbings' car who's currently getting his 6n sorted for UD. Very low although im not sure how much.

I do know mine sitting on 14"x7j Castellets was 100mm. Fully wound is 120mm so I practically had it beached on the deck

Its awesome, he's getting his cream leather interior done, rims cleaned and detailing before going into UD. His one of my fellow area reps on Dub London. I'd say his mk4s the nicest i've seen other then Foxie's.

Yeah he lives 1 min walk away from me lol. He's a safe guy too, he came round my house the other day. His leather interior is sic!! I gotta link up with this guy again. Btw Noz, you coming UD? I am...gotta support Dubbings!

Sorry to doube post but will I have to do anything to make them fit? Also, wots the deal with spacers? I'm new man! Help me!

I'm likely to be at UD, few of the Eastern Dubs boys got seats inside too so happy to see we're represented big time by the number of local cars at the show. Another great Polo would be Harv's 16v whichs having a 20vT stuck in with the interior before the show.

You'll need thinner profile tyres for the 16's to be ok with probably a lil stretch for that look.

Ah nice. Would be nice to see you there. Apparently the dub-london crew's gonna meet up somewhere so we can all head off to the show together. Do you know where our meet is gonna be?

Spacers just make your wheels stick out more, if you get the right width ones it makes your stance soo much better.

In terms of tyres, 165/45s would give a nice little stretched look. They're quite a rare size to get hold of though.

Maybe just a 195/45? no stretch but they'll fit properly, thats the standard sized tyre for RXIIs on a GTi
