heartagram Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Cool cool, see how it goes. Find out what the offset is as well. Makes all the difference!I think that flip paint one must be on air. I want that stance but without air... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could get the correct tyre size (dare I say it) you could get them on without any rubbing issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk1_polo Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 i think the 'correct' tyres will probably be 165/40r16 nankangs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Its hard to say what adapters you will need when you've only said what tyre size you want to use. ROFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 No worries mate, not any rush tbh.Have you sold your mk1 yet? I'd love to buy it. I have a Derby in the same colour. Shame I have to little money and to many cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk1_polo Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 sale fell through at the last minute got a few people interested, i would like it to go to a good home really. would be nice to see it in the hands of hoopty tech garages!

heartagram Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 hehe,I would love to buy it for the missus but she hasn't even passed yet. I can see her bumping it when she does though. Would be a shame to bump something so tidy really.Plus it would be a bit sad if I had an Inari Silber Derby and she had an Inari Silber Polo I'm sure it'll find a home soon enough!
