Hi,

would like to know if 9x17 would fit at front on a 9n3?

The ET is 47 but will have to run adapters cause the PCD is 5x112!

Which ET would be optimal?

Any info or pics are welcome!

Denis

yes it will fit,the best et is 30 for the polo 9n3, but it would be better an 8,5

I agree, there are folks on her who I've seen run 9" on a 16 but not on a 17".

Personally I wouldn't go anything over an 8. My rotiforms were 8.5 and they rubbed so had to raise the car quite alot.

I had on my old 9n3 8x18 35mm offset and just fit had to pull front arches out and going 9 inch you would have to go 30 mm offset as so close to shocker , must say the arches are thin and can be manipulated easily old polo below
