You dont get 17" 205 alloys mate...

And whats the offset of the wheels? The diameter is irrelevant as to wether they will fit correctly.

Whatever you do you are bound to get scrubbage on full lock, but you can tae out the arch liner to get round this.

The offset will be on the inside, on the back of one of the spokes i expect.

It will say like ET38 or similar.

Are you sure the ibiza wheels are the same PCD and centre bore as the saxos?

The need to be 4 stud, pcd of 4x108 and et18 i think.

Best bet is to try one on it mate. Only takes a couple of mins to trial fit a wheel.

In that case they must be miles off!!

Do the bolt holes line up, and are there any markings on the wheel itself?

In that case you will need about 10mm spacers i think, although im not exactly sure of the saxo offset. But i think its et18.

Hud size?
