I used to run 17x7.5 ET 53 and 17x9 ET 47 with 20mm adapters.
Fronts were tucked and rears poked a bit
I'll bump my build thread so you can see how they sat.

i was thinking of puting 205/40/17 on the front but what about the rears as they are 8.5" wide?
Re: porsche twist alloys on polo 9n HELP
Couldn't have rear seat passengers or a full tank of petrol as it would rub haha
I'd fit 205's all round or 195's if your after a bit stretch.

I ran 25mm adaptors on the front.
And 20mm on the rear.
Sat pretty well.
But dont have fat chicks in your car...
