also i no its been asked a million times y some polos 'tilt' 2 1 side but the suspension on the bk of 2f polos is adjustable ther are i think 6 adjustment heights on mine and they r on the third 1 down on both sides so as my car is slightly higher on the passenger side could i just adjust the passenger side 1 notch lower than the drivers side 2 even it out>?? n e 1 done this??

I'm having the exact problem with my mk3 check my topic you find the replys usefull mate.

I don't think there is any tyres you can get that would stretch nicely over a 6" rim. Seems kind of pointless stretching as you can get 195/45's under there without any problems at all.

i cant find n e tire make that does a 45 profile tyre on a 14 inch rim it has 2 b 185/50/14. or 195 e.t.c

You could get 195/40 14s. Continental Sport Contacts.

but would they look n e good?? they would be really fat sidewalls wudnt they???

There won't be much of a sidewall on a 195/40...

It won't stretch, but it will be pretty flush with the wheel and give it a purposeful look. And shit loads of grip.
