Would alloys and tyres of 195/65/16 be ok on the polo?
Cheers

No, they would be too big.
Plus your speedo would read 60mph when you are closer to 70mph
I use 205/45/16 on my 16's I think it's a standard size depending on how wide your wheels are.
Use something like this to get the right sizes:

Type in the original size, then adjust the new size until it's closest, they are better web pages but I can't remember the link.

the rolling radius of 195/65/16 is 329.95mm, 205/45/16 is 295.45mm.
but not all 9ns are in the 295mm region. The polo twist has 14 inch alloys as standard which has 288.8mm rolling radius.

btw james, is there much room under the arches with your 205/45/16s?

Plenty of room even with a 45-50mm drop.
