    I think it pretty much depends on the width of tyre as well. I have seen Polo wheels 8" across but it will depend on what tyre size you go with that. I could be wrong but I think the general consensus is that you'd fit 215s on a 7.5" and 225's on an 8" wheel. But its been mentioned before that both these combos may cause a little rubbing. I guess it also depends on whether your car has been lowered as well.

      better off putting 7.5"

      wider tread/rubber DOES NOT always mean better traction/grip. you need to calculate the weight of the car,size of the rims,etc... or else you could easily aquaplane on the road over a puddle.

                but at the same time, 13 inches seems far, far superior to 8 inches.....

                          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)

                              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
