i would go for 195's all round ive got them on my 8" rear Design 90's and i dont get ny scrubbing at all but the offset on them with the spacers is 27 your gonna need your arches flared massively to fit those bbs's inside your arches

the wheels you bought will stick out 42mm wider that your original wheels and you will get 4mm extra space against the suspension strut

Cheers, yeah i had a rough idea from a mate who worked out the offset etc

I had the teledials on the polo - they didnt rub either - i'l need to dig out the size/offset i had on them

You can get away with 8's.

Sorted has such a low offset which is the reason for rubbing. The lower the offset the more problems your going to have.
