Volkswagen Polo wheel fitment — Iv -Fun/Cross- 9N
Overview
The Volkswagen Polo (IV) -Fun/Cross-, also known as Typ 6N/6KV, is part of the third generation of Polos produced from 1994 to 2000. It was developed on a new platform shared with the SEAT Ibiza Mk2 and featured significant changes compared to its predecessor, including a completely redesigned body style that introduced five-door hatchback variants, making Volkswagen one of the last major European manufacturers to offer this configuration in the supermini class. The Polo IV was available in various trim levels and offered both petrol and diesel engine options, catering to diverse market needs.
Volkswagen Polo wheel fitment
Volkswagen Polo wheel fitment for the Volkswagen Polo (Iv) -Fun/Cross- 9N (1975–present): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.

| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6J–8.5J | ET28–ET39 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
