polo and ibiza same overall wheel andtyre diameter?

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

hi fellow mk4ers!

just wondering if a 56 reg polo would have the same tyres on a set of 17s as an ibiza would?

cheers!

Dont know tbh mate. Dont you know what size they are?

Standard 17's on the Beeza come with 205/40/17.

I guess so...? same chassis etc.

why would they bother retuning all the mph stuff for polo & fabia


GTi has 16" wheels with 205/45
GTi 17" wheel option has 205/40

so yes if fitted correctly they will, but don't assume

Fabia VRS comes with 16" alloys, Facelift FRs come with 17" alloys (both PD130s) - They would have to re-calibrate it for that, so could do for the polo.

they're 205/45 so surely equals it out? I know it's very slightly out as 5 profile isn't quite 1/2 inch

its TT comps coming off a 1.2 polo onto a 1.2 ibiza...as said before can't imagine they would change everything at the expense of a 1.2?

i'll confirm tyre size off the dude

Is it the polished ones? If so, they dont fit on 1.2's.. only 1.9 TDi FR's, so just give me the guys number Ko, Nice choice mate...

I'm sure the standard tyres that come on the TT comps are 225/45/17, which is too big for the Ibiza, you will get rubbing. I think the biggest you could get away with is 215/40/17 but even that might rub slightly if your lowered.
