Polo 6C wheels and lowering

Post by Dclements24 »

Alright lads.
I'm looking to fit a set of 18" wheels to my Polo 6C ( I think that's what it is) just wondered if anyone had any pictures of their polo on 18 inch wheels for inspiration.

I'd also like to know how much you guys have lowered your cars on 18 inch wheels.
Cheers.

I don’t have 18” wheels on my Polo so don’t have any pictures.

What is the width and the offset of the wheels on the mk4 Golf that you’re planning on fitting? Even with the Polo’s standard suspension ride height, if they are wider than your OEM wheels (they probably are) and have an aggressive offset, you may experience rubbing issues.

Worth using the calculator on the Will They Fit? website, so you can see if you’ll have any fitment issues.

18’s ona polo 😳 GULP! 15” wheels look big on a polo 😂 Good luck man! You’ll have to mega tuck or camber it to hell with stretch tires to get them to fit I reckon 🙈

Should have no problem with fitted 18" wheels as long they are not crazy wide (8j is the max in reality) and an offset around et35-40

215 35 18 is about the right size tyres for that
