how wide you wanna go?

and which tyres and ET will it be?

ate powerdisc

anything wider than 7,5" won't work with 18's on a 9n and especially the alphards which are 8,5 and 9,5 with lower ET's! 7,5x18 with 205/35 tyres is the way to go: http://www.polo9n.info/Foto/2k12-gti-patl-119559-15878.jpg?width=850 http://www.polo9n.info/Foto/polo-9n3-gti-fruchtjoghurt-42135-6...

F****** perfect

more pics mate!!

there was a guy in Germany that had 225/35 tyres on a 9,5x17 at the back...IIRC the ET was 30

love the new wheels!

leave them as they are!

yes take it out and inspect it







EDIT: I presume the same procedure is for the right hand drive polos

according to the engine code (ASZ) they're the same

no probs!225 is waaaay too much!

go for 205/40 (if only springs) or even 195/40 (if on coils) tyres!

225 tyre is too much on a 9n3!go for 205/40!!!!

no problem!

the standard ones have 26 or 27mm long thread

m14x1,5

just look on ebay and buy the ones that are 10mm longer then the standard ones

Andy had 9x16 ET21 with 215/35 tyres at back on his GTI!here are few pics to see how that looked: http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp358/dub-polow/CIMG0873.jpg http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp358/dub-polow/CIMG0536.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i186/tommicc/DSC08019.jpg he also had ca...

195/40 on 8x16
205/40 or 215/35 on 9x16

it all depends on the ET and if you'ill be low

Andy had KW VAR 1 without helpers and 1,5 degrees camber shims; didn't scrub at the back as he had 215/35 tyres

the 3piece ones are pretty rare and even more in 5x100 and such "high" offsets

you looking at 3 or 1piece ones?
