If I had to get rims for mine, it would be a set of Weds TC105N's in 17x8 +42. Each to their own though, it depends on what style you like, what you're trying to achieve and your budget.

Hey Guys,
Im looking at changing the rims on my MY15 Polo Gti aswell, How can i find out which wheels will fit exactly. Offset inset etc. not too fmailiar when it comes to wheels apart from stud pattern :S
Cheers

You'll be needing wheels that are 5x100 for the stud pattern.

As for offset I believe in the stock offset is 45 so look for something around that unless youre after a specific look.

6C's i believe still come with 17x7's. So again, you can go larger both size and width but will need to think about the offset to make sure it all fits!

Hope this helps.

6R and 6C the fit will be the same and what you can get away with will very much depend on how low your car is, that is if you do intend to lower it.

You can get away with 17 x 8 35 offset or 17 x 8.25 38 offset with modest 25/40 lowering springs. With coilovers and a bit lower you will get some mild rubbing on the fronts but not drastic with these combos.

6C's i believe still come with 17x7's.

The wheels on the 6C were actually upgraded to 7.5" wide versus the 7" jobs on the older 6R.

I've just ordered a Golf 110TSi Highline for my wife and I noticed that it comes with 225/45/17 tyres on 17 x 7 wheels, but the Polo GTi has 215/40/17 on 17 x 7.5 wheels. One size wider tyres on one size narrower wheels, strange.

215/40/17 is an uncommon size and costs about $50 more than 215/45/17. I hate VW.

Personally I'd go for the 225/40/17 it is a more appropriate tyre for a 7.5" wide wheel.

Will the 225's fit on the standard Polo GTI rims Gary?

[green_comet]

They'll fit fine on the upgraded 6C GTI 7.5" wide rims, I probably would go putting them on the older 6R GTI 7" wide rim.

Keep in mind that they will knock the speedo out a very small amount, but they should be fine.

The actual width of tyres varies between brands (eg; a 225 can be 220 mm wide or 230 mm wide), but in general 215 and 225 are considered the ideal size on 7.5" wheels, with 205 considered the minimum and 235 the maximum.


The 225 40 17, depending on the individual tyre, should be around 3% larger in diameter when new which would just about offset the conservative speedo.

Your biggest problem is finding 225/40R17 tyres...
