Has anyone tried fitting 5x120 wheels on the polo ?
I want to buy a pair of BBS RC040 ET41 on 17'', but i don't know if im going to be able to fit them. I was considering re-drilling them but i'm not sure if it would be the correct decision since the car is driven "to the limit" from time to time and I don't want to end up in some random tree

The other option would be some adapters, since i will definitely need spacers (the wheels are 17x7.5 ET 41 - made for BMW). Probably the ET will have to be around 35-30.

Does anyone know where i could get the adapters ? or should i go for the redrill

If refilling is an option then there should be no issues with the strength as there are plenty of cars around with redrilled wheels.

Im thinking you would have to have a minimum of 15mm for adapters so end result would be ET26 so there would be poke and possible rubbing issues

Adaptors are miimum 20mm iirc

rather redrill

quality re-drill is 100% safe

It will be quite a challenge to re-drill BMW wheels to 5x100 beacuse of the CB size

you can get even 15mm adaptors; thinner then that is a hazard
