defo lowering mate ... do they stick out alot or is it just the pics??

also till i came on ere i had never seen another modded canyon red polo.... now i have seen 3 Grrrrrr lol

[mwbpsx]

OOOOOH a VW Range Rover lol

[BIG RHYS]

wow not sure if u can lower the car with those wheels they stick out so much,

wat is the width on them and Et?..

if u did lower it you would have 2 get the archs rolled and pulled mate

[luke_poloe]

Yea they do stick of the arch out a tiny bit however I think changing the spacers from 10mm to 5mm will sort this. I have seen a few canyon red polo’s on here, there’s probably still more to come lol.

The wheels are 7.5J x 16H2 with 195/45/16 on the front and 205/45/16 on the rear, will the rears need changing to 195's if I lower? Someone has written ET35 on the wheels however I don’t think this is correct as I need spacers for them to clear the front callipers. Will the ET be printed on somewhere as I can’t see it on either side?

I need a new set of centres as one is missing, what are people’s thoughts about these I can’t decide witch ones.

[Tim_GTi]

I'd say you'd need new tyres all round. 195/40/16 is what your after.

Yea that does sound better cheers Tim, would the 40mm profile stop the fronts scraping when on full lock?

Yeh, assuming it's ET35 or above

[luke_poloe]

Do you know how the ET is marked onto the wheels, I cannot see any text with the ET just a symbol does this mean anything?

If it doesn't say anything on the wheels, look them up on the net to see if you can find any info on them.
