UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Alright, for future reference of all 9n owners this should be useful. Post a few pics of your car, then tell us the suspension, the wheels (size + width), the offset, tyre size and any arch mods.

Should be interesting to see how much girth you can fit on a 9n as I reckon they should be able to take a bit. 9's anyone?

My stance



Down all the way, with spring cups removed on the backs. Still a few threads on the front.
Audi TT comp rims, mirror polished. 7.5J iirc? with 205 40 R17 Toyo Proxes.

My stance



110mm drop, shortened droplinks, 15" x 6" Pepperpots, ET 38, 165/50 Nankangs

My Stance



30mm on Eibach springs, Barcelona alloys 16 x 6.5j, 205/45 Pirelli Pzero Nero

This is on the 7 x 17s on the highest setting of the TA technix coilies.
The 8 x 17s are returning with a new suspension setup soon

My stance(s)

All photos on FK Silverline coilies wound all the way down with removed front ARB and removed rear spring adjusters

lovin those porka splits you sold them?

heres mine running 17x8 et26 17x9 et34 rear schmidt th lines on fk konigsport coilovers wound all the way down
runnig koni springs and shockers in this pic 50mm

Do 9's mean arch work?

Pidge87, have you got anymore piccies of it rolling on the Porsche wheels? I'm feeling that rear girth lol Are those running 20mm adaptors?

Only a couple others but none showing the proper poke that was going on

That was 25mm rear adapters and 30mm front. Rears stuck out 30mm from the arches

And about arch work unless your planning on flaring/pulling the arches there is no work that can be done! But to fit those splits youd probably need to pull your arches about 10mm to get the tread completely under the arch

they do look sick on though.

i was tempted by the 9's all round Borbet A on ed38 but 9 front is a bit beefy tbh. the reers would stick out by about 10mm so would've been perfect lol

(also didn't have £500)

BBS RC 7,5x17 ET35
Pirelli PZero Nero 205/40-17
H&R 35mm springs.
None rubbing what so ever.

Heres mine, sold now though!

here is mine when i had the 18x8 monzas 35mm offset , lowered on TA technics no threads left on the front LOL minor arch work on front buy removing the arch liner bolts and pulling em out slightly back was fine no rubbing!
