You need to find out the size of them mate. It says on the side, for example 195/40/16.
It sounds like they are too big though, you'll be wanting a smaller profile tyre, 195/40/16 is normally the preferred option, but it depends on your wheel width also.

As expected you have 195/45/16's which are the usual size for 16's.
However, for a polo it isn't so you need 195/40/16 and your sorted.

There's nothing you can really do mate, changing tyre size is the best and easiest option. They'll look alot better too.
