wheel question

Post by Turbomier »

Can a Polo 9N3 be fitted with 17/45/225 wheels?
i can buy a set of OZ superlegerra's in this size for a verry good price :mrgreen:
but i want to know if it will fit under the polo, it's also lowered with KW V1 on the lowest position, don't know if this might be a problem.

Thx :wink:

Mate I have 215/40 R17 Tyres wrapped around 17 inch BBS RW et 35

I think 225 would be bit of a tight squeeze, I may be wrong but saying that you could always invest in a set of Spacers :wink: :D

Hey Turbomier,

Remember when you're lowering with KW V1 on the lowest position, you require droplinks. There's a guide on this forum about droplinks and how you can benefit by fitting these.
45 tyre i hope you mean by the tyre wall is 45 would fit under the Polo as long as you be careful with the lowering tactics. I've seen Polos lowered by 50mm suspension kits and the wheels are 205/40/R17 and it is fine. Hope i've helped a bit.

just bought the wheels, they are 8j. and weight is about 16.4Lbs / 7.4Kg.
i will fit 205/40/17" tyres on them because a45wall will not fit with a 17" wheel under a polo.
so they will be a bit stretched but thats ok.
i'll post pictures when i will fit them under the polo :wink:

thx for the help! :mrgreen:

ps: about the droplinks. planning to install these. :wink:
what are the benifits of this?
