    Will these wheels fit a 6R Polo?

    Hey Guys,
    will these wheels fit a 6r Polo GTI?
    They are off a Golf 15"


    What to run them with winter tyres and fit snow chains to them.

    Golf IV I assume? If so, then the PCD and offset will be fine but will 15" clear your brakes? If they front rotors are 288mm, it should be OK but any larger and the won't fit.

    sweet looks like i am good to go. Spare set of wheels with winter tyres probably 195/75/15 and more readily available snow chain sizes rather than the expensize Summit K chains is what i am going to do.

    Not sure on that mate, minimum size on the Mk4 golf GTI with these same rotors is 16" due to the brake caliper. I'd say don't do it, just in case you get stuck with wheels that don't fit.
