I'd say they were a little bit bigger than 18s!

Welcome to the forums by the way!

The ride is going to be jaw breaking without tyres mate! Better save up and get some.

yes tires would help think your better off with 17's with tyres

Hi there silver polo welcome to the forum!
Hope you recieve a better welcome that I did

Anyway heres a few picture of some polos with 18" rims!
The look so sweet if only I had the money!
Talk to mole. Your best bet is to go with some 17" with a drop of around 60/70 mm this way your car will look kool and it will save any modification on your arches!

what pic? im sure you are able to my polo has sports springs as standard do you mean i wont be able to lower it as much?

This one

IMO cars with big wheels and loads of space between the tyre and arch look a bit daft.

If you have the sports suspension on, i think you should be okay. Might need some uprated shocks to stop it rubbing when you go over a bump (not sure if the VW sports kit includes shocks).

whats the avarage price for some shocks for the pholo not just springs

KarlM · Post by **KarlM** » Thu Jun 05, 2003 9:00 pm

My Koni springs and adjustable dampers cost just under Â£300 fitted, not sure if theres one available for the 9n yet, but put a post in the Chassis section and i'm sure someone with a 9n will be able to help.

Its okay, me and a friend were driving round Rotherham on that day in his recently tuned D Turbo. its a burgandy one with anthrite rims for reference, so be careful - its rapid for a diesels.
