I love that body kit! I only wish we can get that on our polo!

It's not the cup kit, so maybe you can if you ask the place that made that car?

where does it say that?

Just a noob question, why would the body kit affect the tire size? And in general what is the problem with the 215s

Wider body kits allow more rubber to fit inside them without rubbing. 215/45R17 would definitely rub on our stock GTIs.

When I bought mine they fitted it with 225/40R17s and that rubbed even when driven like a grandma. The 'limit' that most people have found is 205/45R16, 205/40R17 or 215/35R18.

Having bigger tyres would give you so much better traction, which is probably the one major problem the Polo has (especially once chipped).

I run 215/40RZR17 Michelin Pilot Precedas on my Polo GTI with no rubbing issues - and that's on slightly lowered suspension and driven hard on the track. I haven't tried 215/45s.

I tried a set of identical wheels with 225/40ZR17s and they rub when installed on either the front and back.

I'm not game enough to try that lol. Even the extra cm would count for something.
