Hi guys,

Just got myself a set of golf gti rims (2003 model) for the polo!

Stoked to be getting rid of the hub caps, but what size tyres should I go?

I'm buying toyo t1r's as they offer terrific bang for buck, and after having them on the astra, I swear by them!

I'm thinking of same size tyre as the polo gti... what size is this?

205 x 16 x 45

Actually ... not sure the Golf rims will fit the Polo (different size).

Since you said the same size as the GTI I'm guessing your car isn't a GTI. I'd recommend going 205/40/16 to increase acceleration. It's not illegal to have a speedo that overeads btw

I hope so! :P

The wheels have a 5x100 stud pattern and same offset I've been told.

Audi TT wheels supposedly fit as well.
