Agressive wheel fitment

[50D]

Hey guys,

Just wondering how aggressive you guys are going with your wheel fitment.
Was looking at running 17x8 +35 all around.
Just wondering what the little polo's are capable of

The most agressive wheels people are driving are around: 18 inch 8J ET30 front, and 18" 9J ET30 rear.
Although i know 1 person to fit 19" but the wheel rotation really gets too big compared to stock

There's a rumour that one of the 9N3 guys will be running 17X8 ET5 very shortly...so ET35 is pretty damn tame compared to that

mine's 18x8 ET35

it begs the question, why?

Can anyone confirm if the Golf R 18" Talladega wheels will bolt on to the Polo GTI or is the PCD different?

If not i'll be looking at aftermarket lightweight japanese rims with a staggered width and offset 8J +25 front & 9J + 30 on the rears..
Too aggressive or not aggressive enough?

You'll need adapters man - they're 5x112.

And that sounds about right for a nice semi aggressive fitment.

Because 9N3 Polo drivers are the illest...

Thanks mate semi aggressive is the look i'm after. I would like them to come out from the guards just a little, but will tuck under the guards with some neg camber and maybe a little stretching of the tyre.

Well, the GTi crowd maybe.

Yeah sounds like you'll be just about sorted with those specs. I've just fitted some new wheels - Porsche Cayenne 17x7.5 ET53 with 25mm adapters on 195/40s and it sits perfect on the 9n3 completely flush with the guards.

Link to above wheels?

Enkei RPF1's: 17x8 35offset, then you can be cool like the 9n3 boys (well, 2 of us).
Assuming you have pretty close offset compatibility, should work well.

I can take 1 off for you to test-fit.

18x8 35p front and 18x9 38p in the rear

Can anyone confirm what the PCD is on the Polo GTI. Ill be replacing the stock detroits very soon

5x100, just like the rest of them
