    17's on a Polo

    I was rotating my Golf's 17's and thought I'd try one on the Polo, they look so big on that car. The Polo's not lowered so we sat in the boot, but you get the idea.

    Thank you MattyT, i thought so...unfortunately 55kw, no cruise control and the fact i'm 6'3" stops the Polo from being my daily. So the wheels stay on the golf.

    looks good, but you might find your 55kw going down to 45kw with the weight from such a big wheel on a lil car lol

    what you actually might find, on stock springs / shocks you might end up rubbing a bit on them wherefor if you were lowered on a harder set of sport springs/coilovers (whichever path you go down) it wouldnt and be a firmer ride.

    nice wheels but!
