What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[guile]

I'll do you one better, how about 205's lol
Stay tuned!

I stretched 205/40/17 on a 9" wheel last weekend with ease so you should have no problems. I'll post up the pic later so you get an idea of the stretch.

205/40/18 are not a really common tyre size though so expect to pay a bit more. I'm thinking about going 215/35/18 for the next set of wheels i'm looking at. the slightly lower profile may help just as much as the reduced width?

No need, im watching them do it as I type this. First one is on and stretch is pretty full on lol

Got stretch? lol







Need to figure out how to remove the tire pressure warning light though now as its constantly displayed

Obviously that can not be legal? Looks good from the side though...

[PoloDave]

If it's not legal over there, pass them on to me. Our laws allow for the tires to stick out 5mm, but say nothing about the rims
Love the set!

[LocoPolo]

Was this with standard shockies?

Yes ...with coilovers or diff shocks should be different i think.

Press the button in the top right of the glove compartment for a few secs and wait for the beep. It will recalibrate itself

GOD DAMN!!! LOVE IT!!!

It looks weird on just one angle, but trust me if you can get the back just above the rim, it'll be PERFECT!!!

I had a similar situation that I had to stretch like that, but if you tuck enough of the rear it will "hide" the exposed edge of rim. Man, sorta angry at myself for going the painted stockies instead of those CH-R!! Congrats man, looks so sexy!

Don't understand the point of stretching tyres but hey, that's just me. The wheels themselves look awesome though!

Congrats.

Very nice wheels. One of my fav from BBS. It really suits the car too.

Really don't like the stretched tyre look and maybe dangerous under cornering. Each to their own though.

A thinner wheel with proper rubber would look awesome.
