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

OOOOOH a VW Range Rover lol

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

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.

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

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.
