    Will they fit?

    18s on a PoG? With 225/35s?

    17s are perfect on the polo. Any bigger and it compromises ride quality and comfort. I personally think 18s make the car look cartoonish almost..

    I wasn't convinced with 18's on a Polo until I pot them on mine. Mine are 18x8 +35 offset. I am running 215/35 18's and they fit perfectly... Fill out the guards to the millimeter, and look the goods...

    Depends on how low you go.

    18's work fine if you don't mind a harsh ride, it's the offset, drop and tyre width you have to get marched up.

    18's on stock suspension will look ridiculous...

    Tossed up between 18's and 17's and tried both on for size. 18's were too heavy unless you wanted to spend big $, not to mention it looks weird on such a small car. Ended up with 17" Bora sports and couldnt be happier.

    Thanks people

    17s still seem to make best sense...but maybe with 215s rather than the 205s. I quite like the look of the 18s but the ride is probably going to be horrendous with 35 profiles

    I have 215/35/17 Adrenalin Re001's on my 17"s. Rides great and room for lowering

    I think i could have even gone 225 but didnt want to risk width issues.
