How fat can i go...

[Jarred]

that loooooks phat!

9"s look like an easy fit then! go the 9"!! phatter the better

[Mischa]

get a staggered fit. 8's on the front to stop rubbing and 9's on the rear for a phat ghetto booty

[Spec83]

Found them and not too bad price at $120 + postage.... Kuhlergrill

[Whubbsie]

That looks awsome and those wheels look like only 16's... Who needs 17" high when you have 9" wide

Me Like (as above with the grille)

who say's you can't go 17 x 9??

I've wanted one for a while now. I reckon they look sweet. They're available on ebay.de but I don't speak the best German

even with the grill you'll have to fill in the notch at the top of the surround.
would love my bumpers smoothed like that too.


Been looking for 9" wide set that will have the right off set but I think the only option we have within Aus is custom made simmons wheels or the likes.

By the way the specs on the wheels are 9x16 et +34 on the front and +21 on the rear.

do they make BBS RS in that size??

[Mischa]

do they make BBS RS in that size??

yes they do, get porsche fitment RS which have a very high offset and then use adaptors to get them on the polo and lower the offset accordingly. realistically it'd set you back 2k in the end though, not to mention looooong waiting times to get the right wheels

I put 205's on a 10" rim!

On the polo??

Staggered 10s on the back 9s on the front.

Staggered 10s on the back 9s on the front.

No way man. 10's on the back would look sweet, but you gotta have wog-wheels on the front for easy wheelspin.

175/65/R14's on space-saver steelies, say? Fully schwitt mate.....

Staggered 10s on the back 9s on the front.

what size tires did you put on those 9'?,......any real differance in traction?

[Whubbsie]

never had 9s I'm still on stockies, if I went 9s probably still stay with 205s, don't think you can go wider than 215s on any wheel width on the polo without running into troubles (feel free to correct me anyone) so wider rims are pretty much all show

[RhysQ]

all this talk about 8" and 9" wide wheels.....but where the hell is oz can you get them with a PCD of 5/100. i'm getting new wheels shortly and can only find 17x7's without having to struggle with +45 offset rims.

Simmons custom made, Works custom made is the only places I've found were you will get wheels that will fit, ends up being about $1000 a wheel give or take

yeah thats the main problem. i went to jdmconcept.com.au and when you look in the 'incoming stock' section they have some nice 5x100 Work wheels but will end up over $2000 delivered. too much for what i'm after. i want a full set for about $1,000.

yeah as the saying goes "you got to pay to play" so if you want the wide option it going to cost, there is some 17 x 7.5 options on tempy tyres for around $1000 though

[RhysQ]

croydon motorsports have a few good options on their page.
