With me being new to the saxo vtr, to get the best look what size wheels and how low should i drop the suspension without rubbing on the arches or other problems??

i would say 16's, not too big, not to small, just perfect :)
and about the lowering, i would go for 45-50 mm all around from my oppinion

15" wheels give the best handling i've heard.. and definately drop 45/50mm :)
that's my opinion though, there's a thread somewhere with wheel sizes and lowered amounts!

try and find that, or i'll post a link when i find it again :p

Don't get 16's low profile tires tend to be more expensive since 16 aren't too common.

yeah definately 15" and between 35-50mm for best looks, too many problems with 16" rubbing, and sometimes even 15s can rub aswell

if your offset is right, the wheels aren't too wide, and you choose the right tyres, there's no way your wheels will rub, not even on full lock.

i'd go for 15's if you want better handling, 16's if you want better looks.
lower it between 35-50 mm for the best look
