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?

My old 1L had 17" boss alloys, it wasnt lowerd but i reckon i could of gone atleast 40mm and i was 45 profile tyres...

Got any pics? Give me an idea of what 17's will look like!

What width tyres did you have?

Please ignore the state of my car in this pic lol

Prob best pic for size...

Cheers for that, what was your tyre size ???/??/R17

tbh dude i rlly cant remember sorry for some reason i wana say 195 45 but to me they are just nmbers... ill check when im home later as ive still got them.

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.

Time to check Carnoisseur's website....... Back Soon!

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