Whats the largest diameter wheel that you can safely use on a 6n Polo? 16", or can you get away with 17's?
Reason I ask, is because i've seen a set of replica RS4's for sale locally for not a lot of money (very slight kerbing nick out of one & no centre caps).

What ya reckon?

I know what you mean..... Tyre sizes are obvious to someone!!!

Not sure if 17's are the way to go, just a bargain is to be had & it might just work!

The best rims to get if want a larger size is 16's. 17's are possible and don't scrub unless to my knowledge although I think i 'iqqy350' on here had minor scrubbing.

You can buy RS4 or 6 replica's in 15's or 16's as I saw a set at Carnoisseur last time I visited.

i would guess if they were 17s it would be a 205/45/17.
