I've seen them on a 9n3 Polo and they looked mental. I can't remember seeing them on a mk3 but they might work. You'd need to be lowered a bit and really stylin' though  :grin:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Look a bit like 16" bora hubcaps on steels.

Yeah, mines even worse at 4x100... they don't make adapters.

I'd have to convert the hubs to 5x100 then buy 5x112 adapters.

Adapters are available, two piece ones from??? Can't flipping remember but its on the comp at home.  205/40's or 195/40's would both be ok depending on your aimed final et

Yeah, I thought about getting a set of adapters to make it 5x100 then another set to both onto that to make it 5x112 but I think that'd be like fitting 70mm spacers.

I don't know how safe those two piece ones are.

To pull these off you would need to slam i and be SMOOTHHHH!
Oh and apparently 17's dnt ride to well on G3's :(

But yeahh 205/45 would give you a tiny bit of stretch, and 215's would give ou virtually none!
If you're 4x100 get some OZ Turbo's  :cool:

Yeah, I've got some coilovers on order... It's gonna be lower but not like Dmonday's estate kind of low.

The roads round here are way too bad!



This one really floats my boat.  :shocked:

It's on air ride though.... mine will be nowhere near as low as that - it's still got to be practical.

Me too - I wish I could find a set.

I'd feel pretty guilty about stealing his look though.
