Arguement i had

Hey i was having an arguement at maccys the other day with a guy whoz was ment to off worked at a tyre shop and the arguement was about a polo with 13" cant have low profile tyres is this true or false??? i thought u could may be wrong but just wasnted to know thanks

Erm that isnt true, when your running on 13's you dont really want a too low profile anyway as the car will be sat even lower (if it is already lowered) also the fact that the lower the profile the worse the ride becomes. Go to the tyre section in the garage and have a look at some of the images in the tyre stretch link, this should help to answer you question and give you an idea on what you should be looking for when you get some nice alloys for yours

wider the tyre lower profile you get
but im guessing your on standard polo steels (4.1/2j) so you'll be using a 155 lowest profile you can get is 65

I've noticed a few wide 13s like superlights and wellers that have stretched tyres tend to have a profile no smaller than 55

yea i am on those steelies and wasnt looking for my wheels its the fact hes menna no tyres and says ya cant that baffled me a little but thanks for the advice but i recon 13" deepdish wheels on low profiles would be Blimming awsome

imo 13" are too small for 6ns never get a decent stance
nice set of 15s helpers out, chassis notch and your onto a winner

thannks for the advice from a fellow 6n and yea i always thought 13" looked cooler and handled better but if im wrong thanks and ill look for some 15" deep dish

krash thats not right. eddies gti is on 13s and thats awesome on stance with his low profile tyres. he just needs to wind the front end down a little more. and taking helpers out of coillies also can soften up the ride, depending on coillies so not always the best option. its all on how dedicated you are on having your car low

well i just wanna to low about 60mm so arch is sat just above tyre but also want handling characteristics but i think 13" look frikin awsome

13"

15"


i just think imo that 15" looks better

as for handling 13s will give you more acceleration but lower top speed so engine will rev higher then it currently does

i prefere eds. i think its just cos i prefer the wheels on eds

Got to agree with Krash on this i prefer the 15's but everyone to their own.

Ok i also got to admit that 15" looks loads better then those 13" but don't know if its the wheels i like or the size but i do like it.. im keeping an open mind... i also think the type of wheel of you choose determines what size you get thanks krash

something to take into consideration is 1.4 16v brakes wont fit under 13" wheels

yea was thinkin bout same brakes but gettin a mk5 gti rear axle or mk2 gti rear axle to make it all 4 disc brakes but thanks for advice krash

i might know where there could be a mk2 gti rear axle going? Could see how much?

only need the stubs. could work out cheaper and MR JENKINS you need to move over, slowing me down. ;p

well i think a mk2 gti would fit ??? and if u could get priced up??? though prob gonna wait as i just had new shoes and what have ya fitted for stupied price so might aswell use them
