Lowering

[crodgers]

With 195/50/15 tyres on. Is it still possible to lower the polo slightly perhaps 40mm? and will there be any scrubbage with people in the back? I like the wheels with the 50s as it fills the arches nicely and i have already paid and had 4 Pirelli P5000 to be fitted. ??

I would imagine you'd get away with 40mm, but it would make alot more sense to ride 45s, lowering the car will close the gap between the wheel and the arch, you don't need tyres to do that.

Looks alot smarter too

It is an awkward postion though, having just forked out on the tyres.

Ano wat you mean mate. Im pleased with the tyres myself and really just looking to close the gap. But as you say the tyres have been paid for aleady and fitted and being a student theres not much i can do now Seems to be now that after ive payed for them and had them fitted ive mates sayin aww 45s would have been nice. lol

Yeh it can be a cruel world.

But either stick with them, or sale them. If you were to do the latter it would be best to do so now as they are in their best condition.

You won't fetch back what you want though infortunately. For they're not a sought after size.

I know mate im beginning to realise that. Think il just keep them. They were bought on account so wouldnt mess about and get the account holder a bad rep. They done me a favour and got me a good deal just forgot all about asking for the 195/45s.

It was like a phone call then the next thing i knew they wer on the car lol.

Aww well il be taking the polo up to a Car Customization company in a few weeks to get some body work done so il see what they think about lowering.

Too be honest im really happy with the wheels and tyres overall and they look well on the car. And considering i got a good deal overall i dont think i can complain
