There would be a slight stretch but it also depends on which tyres you are using as some tyres have alot thicker sidewalls this can make a difference!

Agreed it would be a better stretch if you used some 185's and go for something like Falkens they are a decent hard wearing tyre!:y:

mind you, a stretch on a 6.5J tyre would look silly :D
get some 8/9" wide's on there if you want stretch

Agreed on this, need to be at least 8 inch wides i would say to think about stretching. Will look like a bike tyre on 6.5's!

so 7.5 or 8 j wud fit fine all round yea on a stretch

depends on the offset, as to how well they will fit in the arches, and whether they will rub on either side...
have a look on chandler's old thread, he had probably the most extreme stretch ive seen on this site, see what he used :)

wud they be fine as them spacers will be huge alot of extra weight on ma shafts

simple answer, yes you would need the spacers.
those wheels are et35, saxo is et18, so you'll need a 20ish mm spacer to get them to sit right.
make sure they're hubcentric spacers and you'll be fine.
i personally prefer 15" and under for euro look on a saxo.
