Can I put higher-profile tyres on my Polo?

can i put 215/45/17 tires on my Vw Polo 2014? thanks

Our answer:

Hi Adem,

So far as we can see, the only 17-inch wheels that were fitted to the 2014 Polo wore 215/40 tyres. Using 215/45 tyres would alter the gearing as they're higher profile, leading to incorrect distance and speed measurements.
