anyone pics

i hope not

i was wondering how big there will be fitting on a polo

iirc there is a silver mk3 with 16" d90's with a mk4 bumper adn a engien conversion> I'm sure someone wil have pics, that looks ok as it has had £££££ spent on it to get them to look right

i hope not

haha same!

seen a couple of squarebacks on 16s! a mate of mine put a set on my old gt square and managed to pull the front arch out when he hit a bump!

Think i saw one on ebay a while back n 16's, lets just say it didnt look great

yuk.

if you compare the rolling radius of a 165/40/16 to 185/50/14 or a 195/45/14 you will be shocked.

165/40/16

Tyre rolling circumferance: 1642mm

Static Rolling Radius: 255mm

195/40/14

Tyre rolling circumferance: 1620mm

Static Rolling Radius: 246mm

22mm difference in the circumferance

9mm difference in the rolling radius... Defo shocked me!

^^^ thats a smaller rolling radius than running 15s on 165/50s! i was half tempted to run a set of 16" bbs rxIIs if i could find them cheap enough

Any idea what the rolling radius for a 165/35/17 is?

Would be interesting to see that on a mk3!!

haha god good bye wheel bearings and hello monster truck height!

I'd have deffo rocked a set of 165/40/16's by now if i still had the blue beast.

Half for personal experimentation, half to annoy the haters.

Here you go people

^^ WOW! now that i REALLY REALLY like! that has to be done more i say!

You know what, I bought my mk3 a few weeks ago.

It's got 16's on.

And nah, I aint putting pictures up ...

But, that blue Polo looks alright though man!

... better than everyone going for 13" Classics init.

That does look good actually on 16's :)

Martin.

Brit look coming back??? :p

you never have anything constructive to say do you. i'd really like to see your car, cos you seem to have a very set view on how a mk3 should look.

pictures speak a thousand words
