Re: Tyres, wheels, width, J, ET, PCD...
I would think if you use a 20mm spacers you would get bolts that are 20mm longer,normally the locknut is longer but get the bolts from the same shop were you get the spacersJunz wrote:I am a noob at this...

Hi Guys
I have a 2014 polo 6 and I want to put 17" all wide rimz (8.5j) but i'm not sure if this will fit at the front.
Anyone tried this and does it fit comfortable with no issues?

Too wide for the front, especially if you plan on lowering (if the ET permits that even)Sugen02 wrote:Hi Guys

Re: Tyres, wheels, width, J, ET, PCD...
yep, I have bought the Eibach lowered springs 35mm drop.
So it would not work out even if I put spacers?

Spacers would make it even wider, which would be more of an issue. What's the ETSugen02 wrote:yep, I have bought the Eibach lowered springs 35mm drop.

Re: Tyres, wheels, width, J, ET, PCD...
Hi everyone,
I am new to the club and have 1 or 2 questions...I currently have a 40ml drop on my golf and I am thinking it is not low enough in the front. Should I go 60ml in the front and stay on 40ml at the back?

Re: Tyres, wheels, width, J, ET, PCD...
Yeah, go 60mm front and stay 40mm at the rear, the newer citi golfs tend to look too low at the rear, especially if you fit some sound in the boot. It might just be very bouncy in the front though.CitiLife1.6i wrote:Hi everyone,

Invest in some coilovers, the Maxtrac is not too bad and it's quite cheap.

Or get shortened shocks from Goldwagen Delary to go with the 60mm springs in the front.DotDubb wrote:Yeah, go 60mm front and stay 40mm at the rear, the newer citi golfs tend to look too low at the rear, especially if you fit some sound in the boot.
