    Agressive wheel fitment

    Hey guys,

    Just wondering how aggressive you guys are going with your wheel fitment.
    Was looking at running 17x8 +35 all around.
    Just wondering what the little polo's are capable of

    The most agressive wheels people are driving are around: 18 inch 8J ET30 front, and 18" 9J ET30 rear.
    Although i know 1 person to fit 19" but the wheel rotation really gets too big compared to stock

    There's a rumour that one of the 9N3 guys will be running 17X8 ET5 very shortly...so ET35 is pretty damn tame compared to that

    Can anyone confirm if the Golf R 18" Talladega wheels will bolt on to the Polo GTI or is the PCD different?

    If not i'll be looking at aftermarket lightweight japanese rims with a staggered width and offset 8J +25 front & 9J + 30 on the rears..
    Too aggressive or not aggressive enough?

    You'll need adapters man - they're 5x112.

    And that sounds about right for a nice semi aggressive fitment.
