7x15 et 20 on a polo 2/3??
« on: January 05, 2011, 11:43:58 am »
Have anyone fitted 7x15 et 20 on polo 2/3?
Ofcourse tires has to be 165/45-15!

Didnt really want to go for 15" on my G40 sth. but get some ideas after spending too much time on ebay looking for new wheels!

MY old plan was to have 8x13 or 8x14! But I know it will be a better Gear ratio with 15"
So later I maybe go for 13" or 14" as track-wheels! wink.gif

Yeah. I know that could happen!
On my old mk 1 polo i had 7x15 et 24 with 165/45-15! and was lowered 85/70! The outside of the rim did scrubb a little in the rear.  ;)
Havent compared how Mk 1 are to mk 2...

A friend of mine has a Jetta MK I with Rota RB 8x15 et 24 with 185/45-15 tires, so I just had test how those did fit on my Polo..  ;D
Didnt look too bad! Its a tight fit, But drivable... Should have been lower profile..  ;)
So I guess 7x15 et 20 with 165/45-15 would go too

I've been toying with the idea of going back to 15s on mine - love that Mk2!
