not a fan of 17s on a saxo tbh. look too big imo. each to their own though. if you like it go for it.

P.S. that black sax is the best one iv seen with 17s. lol

I'm still debiting 16's or 17's. so tempted for 17's though, and yeah i agree it looks nice that black sax.


Any more pics guys lol? Surely some one has had 17's on 60mm cheers

well like i said, around 70 - 80mm at the rear, and look at the 1st pic, the wheel is nearly is in the arch, gives the guy some ideas :)

but 15" and 16" ftw mate,

15" with 195/45/15 tyres
and 16" with 195/40/16

Adz that looks the sex! sitting right in the arches.

What alloys are those?

And what kind of arch mods needed to be done? any rubbing at all? on full lock etc

Cheers mate

[phillyh]

Not only are 17's hastle, ive found the handling on cars like saxos with 17's is pretty frigging dangerous!

I love your comments about 'track slag' cars, always shitting on the guys who just arent as motorsport orientated as you. :err:

You dont have to be on a track to drive hard, backroads are where saxos thrive. And Im happy to be prooved wrong but I believe youve only been on the track once and you totalled your car? And you fucked your driveshafts up doing wheelspins in a car park in a 1.1 recently? So before you call other people twats you might wanna get a reality check.

17s can fit mate, but you need to roll the arches on the back, remove the arch liners all around, and youll still get rubbing so youll need to switch the rims back for Mot time.

Cheers mate

had to do loads of arch mods, get the archs cut, all arch liners have to be took out etc etc

And as " phillyh " said, the handling isn't that good,

And yes, they did rub on full lock abit

its all about the 15"'s tbh mate
