    Why not just buy them in the UK?? It will be cheaper than getting them from Australia...

    Forge Spacers are here...

    Can I asked a dumb question, what are spacers? Do they make the wheel stick out of the guard more or something? Also guyGTI do you have any pics of your lowered Polo?

    Yes. between the wheel hub and the wheel.

    Usually require longer wheel bolts and are illegal in many parts of Australia for road vehicles.

    Wheels with a lower offset is the proper way, but finding wheels that suit with a low PCD (around 30 or less) can be difficult.

    Yes mate they move the wheel away from suspension and help in certin brake issues and when you drop then you poke(spacers/or new high dollar wheels with the correct offset) and stretch if you got the dosh.

    note: it might/is illegal to install spacers if you are so inclined to believe you are breaking the law
