4 door polo pics

Golfman, how would you possibly get 9" wide wheels on? I guess some poke would be in order... Looking at my TT's that are going on soon (7.5"), there is going to be bugger all room for anything bigger within the wheel arch. Maybe some fine tuning of offset to get closer to the suspension?

its been done before Its all about offsets! (which I will be triple checking)

I maye have to put a 8" on the front and 9" on the back but its a conprimise I can live with

9"s on the back would be awesome! Hope you don't have to raise the car due to rubbing.

Do you have a wheel in mind?

9 inch rears.....

cheers man!

Yup Hot Tunings in there Took out the front helper springs and the ride quality is better I cant say Im dissapointed with them, they improved my handling, ride and slammage no end!

but Im not going to lie. KW's absoltely kill HT for ride quality. But hell, you'd expect them too for the extra coin!

I've got the PSS in mine and the ride is a bit firm. With the amount of money I spent on the Bilsteins I should've gone with the KW's but I guess life is about trial and errors. I've got about a 20mm gap between the wheel and wheel arch, need to take this back to the mechanics to remove the adjusters and then it should be slamming

BTW what is the front helper springs?

Love the first pic, wheels and shaved front bumper to remove the number plate sticky-outy-bit.

running 8s no issues now with the spacers out all under the arches and plenty of people running 9-10s on you UK polos though offset then drops down to around 20-27.
Wide wheels can be done just not wide tyres.

Don't pussy out least go 10" in the rear

and yes, polo tdi + tune = bye bye xr4. i played with a lowered+wheels red xr4 in the last part of yarra bend [i have a chipped tdi]. the polo tdi isnt anything to marvel at, but it felt like i was just plain bullying him. he didnt look too happy when we came to a stop at the next set of lights.

Wow, I wouldn't have thought the polo tdi would be able to out run an XR4. How much power does yours have atw?

Alright you convinced me!

I'm going to widen Beetle 16" steelies

Buller Scott and I will find out how much both of our chipped Polo TDI's make on the 17th April!

BTW what is the front helper springs?

they hold the main spring captive at all times so it doesn't flop about. But you really dont need it

[Whubbsie]

Alright you convinced me!

Good! now my challange is to beat you to it

dont know how much i have at the wheels, but its torquey as all ****. unfortunately i've had to pull out of the dyno day on the 17th, because my car's at the smash repairs getting fixed [if it doesnt get a structural write-off].

i'll be interested to see what numbers josh's makes, though. i'll be going down there to get snaps on the day.

[Jarred]

If it does get written off, (which hopefully doesn't happen!) let me know, I think I could convince josh to get a spare engine!
