rite ive lowered my polo 8omm

and i want some deep 13''s or 14''s

wats the widest i would get on

im thinkin ov 7x14''s on front and 9x14''s on back

is this possible

I still don't get all this wider wheels on the back stuff...

because u dont turn ur back wheels

wen full lock is on im thinkin of it catchin on the arches

Rob,
Because the Polo is a Trolley! There is more space in the rear arches for the edge of the tyre to meet the arch you can put wider wheels on the back and it makes the car look Phat!

I think that would be possible if you have ET38 offset and rolled arches. As long as you stick to 195's you'll be fine. I noticed your car is poised with the nose lower than the rear this will also give you more space in the rear arches for 9s. I think that you'd easily get away with 13s tho!

But polos are front wheel drive......

i have enough problems with scrubage so going for wider wheels and tyres isn't really my thing, i'm having enough problems with y ones atm!

rob, i agree, rear wheel drive cars have bigger rear tyres, tis all well and good having big tyres on the back, but i don't c the point! plus there still isn't alot of room under those rear archs as they are!

They are indeed front wheel drive but your missing the point, is a cult look to have wider wheels on the rear at the moment and it looks cool.

I'm not missing the point. I have a really big pet hate for fwd cars with wide wheels on the back.

It's stupid.

If you're going to have wide wheels out back, then match them up front too.

it'd be a cult look to have anime girls plastered all over your car too, why cant you do that instead?

why not compromise with 8 inch all round?

It cacks up the ride and handling with too-big wheels/tyres on a car this small and light anyway doesnt it?
Last I heard anyone expanding on the subject the agreement was that 14" is the optimal size (though im afraid i didnt get the width)
