mini wheels on a polo?

This maybe a really stupid question but im sure i seen a polo coupe sat on some mini superlite wheels is this possible?

Yeah, that was Tom's - he used wobble bolts.

Got mini wheels for mine for shows and stuff

used a drill and file to corect the pcd as their half a mm out in each hole, 4x102 instead of 4x100, would recommend spigot rings though to make them more solid if you do this or go the whole way and do spigot rings and wobble bolts, its just expensive that way

i work at an engineering place so i could probably make something myself but how much would i be looking at then for spigot rings and wobble bolts??

I get my spigot rings from ebay.. Just search for the size ya need on there mate..

ok cheers mate but i gotta buy the car 1st won it on ebay but aint gone down there yet going tomoz night

callum wat size wheels do you have? will i be ok with 13x 7s?

That's what mine are so should be fine although theirs two types the normal mini lites which have a positive et and so won't stick out the arches or the deep dish ones like mine which are the same but have practically zero et so stick out the arches bout an inch so you'd need spats to cover them or pull the arches

i was thinking bout going for 14 inch wheels as i need some sump clearance do you know how wide u can go without body mods?

all depends on the et really as that is what determines how much dish you have away from the hub and thats where it'll catch, on mine i had to put plastic spats on and the rears still were outside the arches but only the top of the tyre has to be covered thats why 'stretching' tyres is popular as you can get more wheel 'poke' from the arches and still be legal.

13x7 ET-7

Wobble bolts from ebay are your friend! Just watch out as mini wheels usually have mega negative ET! The Polo was dropped 60mm front and 40mm ish rear!



14x6 Golf GTI pepperpot steels make a good tuck wheel for a slammed Polo... 70mm front and 60mm rear.

not sure what mines lowered its on a PPP subframe and wishbone conversion and H + R cup springs and shockers
