9n alloy wheels

Post by polo9n »

bought sum 17s off internet but they are 7.5 inch width and will need 215 tyres and i think this will be to big to fit my 9n polos archs, luckily i haven't bought any tyres for them yet but what do u reckon ? should i risk gettin the 215 tyres and try spacers n long bolts?

7.5 inches is less than 205mm, you don't really get any stretch with 205 tyres.

45 brings it further into the car (it's actually -45 offset). So that makes life easier. 215 would probably be fine too but you would have to watch out for rubbing on the inner arch.
