As above,

Get your 17" setups up for all to see.

I've just ordered some 17x7.5" wheels for the wife's polo. Also fitting H&R 35/50mm springs.

The et on the wheels is 47 but they're 5x112 so I'm just working out whether I go for adapters or redrill the hubs as we're not wanting any poke.

So, lets see them

well i just had these 17" audi 5x112 rims on my polo but took them back off as i wasnt happy running the hub adapters (dont like the idea of bolts galore that all need to me tight)

I have eibach -30mm on front and H&R on the rear. Dont worry about poke as my rims sat just nice with the adapters

selling the adapters if your interested :lol:

Thanks for the offer, got 3 sets of adapters here already. More stuff that I buy and use but never sell :)

I have a set of Sparco Assetto Gara wheels 17X7.5, ET35 on 25/40 H&R springs. No scrub issues with Federal 595 EVO tyres at 215/40/17. :mrgreen:
Oh....Having a Whiteline sway bar also helps.

Any side on pics? Gti_joe?

Sorry Mash, not really a fan of poke if not required, and the wife definitely isn't.

This will have a sensible drop and tyres, got my own cars to go sill with though :)

Got a few sets for my golf that we tried but she didn't like, managed to find some passat wheels in the end that she likes.

Doesn't sound like much but I think it'll look great, very OEM. Pics of trial pics here...
