hi guys/girls, iv got a mk3 polo hatch! iv just bought sum 15" wolfrace voodoos, they look really good when they are on but they rub like f*ck,

the tyre is a 195/50x15 do i need a 45??? to achieve a good fit?

has any1 else had the same problem, i am new to moddin and hopin for sum advice,

has any1 else had the same/similar problems?

the 45 profile wil give u 0.38inches of more clearence (on each side of the wheel)

but this sounds like an offset problem as well.

195 is stretching it badly for a mk3 in any case if you haven't had the arches rolled, doublespecially on 15s.... if it's a squareback ("hatch") then you've got the potential for a world of hurt there, as the rear arches have even less space than the coupe.

if you can make it work, it'll look awesome, but you might have some toil on your hands

15s on a mk3 is tricky, but i guess the simple solution would be to get some harder suspension !
