Hi, I recently bought a Gt Tdi which obviously had the 15inches on it. Have upgraded it to the 17" with 205/50/r17 and had a good run on highways from Pune to Rajasthan. I can say the overall mileage was 20+ kmpl and the ride was pretty stable and confident. But one bad pothole and my front right wheel was completely gone. Had to purchase a brand new wheel to reach back home. 😂😂 17" Inches Lowe Profile isn't available in stock on any highways or small towns. Apart from that, its still on the same 17" inches and running good so far.
U should have lowered the car. Then it would have cancelled out the change in performance. By shifting to 2 inches more on stock suspension you just added more height. That changes COM. The lower you are the more planted the car feels in corners
Agreed but I’m not planning to change just the springs, as my car has done 85k kms it’s probably best to change the dampers as well. So the whole setup ain’t cheap. Definitely planning to lower the car, but I need my money plant to grow a bit😅
I have mine with 17" with 215/45 and took to service center they said... Switch back to stock... Bcz steering rack is gonna be f*****d up and it costs 16k 🥲🥲🥲 is it true? Even suspension will end up
i was running on 205/50/r17 when i was single and after becoming a family man its really tough to continue with the unpleasant ride; and ofcourse it spoiled my steering rack already and now am peaceful with 195/60/r16.
hey! I’m not sure if I missed you mentioning the specs of the polo you are driving so if you’ll be kind enough, please let me know the trim and year of the car? thanks!
Not many people speak or even know, about the adverse effects of increased rotational mass, via wheel/tyre upgrade. It was good to hear u speak about it. I have a 2001 Honda City Vtec and although the temptation to move from the 14" wheels to 16" wheels was great, at one point.....i decided to stick with the OE setup. The bigger wheels would have had a greater effect on it's performance, since it doesn't have the torque advantage of forced induction.
Comfort is definitely compromised for better handling. You need to be even more careful with bigger rims as its easier to get the wheels and the suspensions damaged. Be careful on bad roads and it should be fine
@@projectblak2784 is it ok to upgrade to 205/50 R16 from 185/60 R15 considering the difference is 1.35% which is low….. I am looking for a balanced setup without affecting the performance of the engine…ready to sacrifice comfort to some extend…let me know your thoughts…

Thank you. I was searching for a perfect video like this.

Yup
@@projectblak2784does the pulling effect be there if it is a branded wheel like lenso?
Good one bro, informative 👍👍
Vw always 🔥🔥🔥

Will 17 inch alloys do damage to my car or it’s suspension. Is comfort compromised?

So should i go for 16 inch ?
16s should be fine. A good balance between comfort and performance
@@projectblak2784
Thanks a lot.
And what is your take on re-mapping polo gt does it damages the cars engine. As it pulls the engine really hard. Should we go for it ?
What is the tyre size
17”-215/45r17
15”-185/60r15
Wich size is good
