Anyone put 16in wheels on 6R Gti?

[Dewey]

I know it sounds soft, but the ride is firm on the 17in Denvers. Tho it does it look good.

Is anyone riding with 16 inch aftermarket wheels on their Gti? Is it right to expect an improvement in ride quality with the smaller diameter and bigger profile tyre? Going from 215/40/17 (17x7 et 45 i think) to 205 or 215/45/16 (16x7 et40).

Any photos of your 16in wheel clad Polo would be great too

Even on the soft suspension setting?
What tyre pressures are you running?

My polo doesn't come with ACC. 36psi which i thought was on the comfort side for this tyre (Bridgestone RE002)

I've got 16" oz f1 cups. Look mint on a 6R if anyone is keen

I find 36 psi cold too harsh, plus it also wears out the centre of the tyre faster than the inner and outer, a sure sign of over pressure. I find around 30 to 32 psi cold gives a better ride plus even tyre wear. Currently I'm running more caster on the front plus a rear swaybar and a couple of mm of toe out on the rear, so not exactly the standard wheel alignment settings.
