work it out..

work it out..

sorry lol tht dont make sense to me

Fair enough. Tis pretty straight forward. Fill in the required fields for "original setup" with the size of your tyres then the wheel info (found round the centre bore on VW wheels), then type in the "new setup" the size of wheel and tyre you plan on running, then at the bottom left it tells you the difference in geometry between the two wheels, the main concern for yourself would be the overall radius of the wheel. Dunno who i whored the file off, but it''s ace and thankyou.

cheers il hav a go

the only way to do it is to use a 185-35-17 tyre they are mega elastic bands lol this tyre size will sit the same hieght as a 194/45/15 which is what your aiming for

Ouch! Nankangs in that size cost more than my conti 185/50/14's and they were made in Germany!!

thats right mate and i wouldnt suggest taking the car over 60 mph them nankangs arent the best at high speed, corners or straight lines for that matter

Yeah got some 165/50/15 Nankangs on a 6J and to say they are scary is an understatement, coupled to a G40 = ditchfinder supreme! :shock:

My mate runs 205/40/18 Nankangs on his B5 passat...

Wet or Dry out handles most things on the road belive it or not. Thats with 344 Torques as well :lol:

Thats because the passat wieghs about 2 tonne and the nankangs have no choice but to grip the road! on small car's like our polo's with very little weight they are crap!!!! i know all to well as i have worked with wheels and tyres for the past 9 years!! the tyre is the only contact you have with the road so why skimp on your life!!!!!!

This is gonna sound really thick, but i understand all the different 'mks' and 'years' on polos, but what does '6n' mean?

6N is a MK4 Polo.

It's the chasis code that they used at the factory.

6N2 is a MK5 Polo

9N is a mk6

9N3 is a mk7

Not sure about the ones before the MK4
