if you change the carrier you can get the vented 256 mm rears on
but with the standard carrier, the largest is the original 232 mm solid setup

Was that a guess or a fact?
I'd think that you could never assume that just because the fronts of one car are a certain diameter that if you take the the calliper mounting bracket off you could use that diameter of disc on the rear. The mounting points might not be in a standard position and/or the calliper will be differant.
BTW, if my memory serves me well, all "lesser" Polos do without a front calliper mounting bracket - its part of the front hub assembly!
