Hey, i've got a 6N (1998) 3dr 1.4 Polo. I've got a bit of a dilema, i want to drop my polo 60mm front and rear, and also get a set of 8" BBS 2pc rims, i think they are built with et12.

Now, the question is would the wheels rub on the arches, and if so could i roll them, i've tried ringing numerous body shops in my area but no one seems to be offering that service, could i just roll them my self???

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, that would be brilliant.

Cheers, S

Hmm..I won't be able to help but I would have thought our resident wheel expert, Speedlaw should be able to clarify matters for you!

That ET12 with an 8 inch width will hurt as the wheels will stick out of the arch. So your idea about rolling is a smart one. This setup on normal arches will rub, no question. Cool choice of wheels though!
