Largest width wheel you can get under a MK2 bready without rolling aches?

5.5" is about it.

Pretty sure i have 6" on mine, not a great deal of room at the back though. Also lowered about 60mm aswell

If your wheels are 6" and lowered 60mm, could you let me know the size of the wheels, tyres and the offset of your wheels please?

do you have a photo of them on the car?

I had 6j et45 on the back of mine and it scrubbed a tiny bit because they had 186s on

I had the G40 bbs RAs at 13" x 5.5" et 38 on my mk2f and I still had to grind some of the arch. Every polo seems to be different. They weren't the straightest of cars out of the factory.

I have 13 inch rims, 5.5 with a 38 et and I had to lightly shave a bit off the arch lips so it didn't rub. 165 rubber and down 60mm.

I'll get a close up later on, I'm starting to doubt mine being 6" after reading these comments

There are normally markings on the wheel that tells you width, offset, etc. If you can't see it on the outside of the wheel, take the wheel off and they're usually on the back of a spoke or at the centre.
