Hi guys
i am wanting to change the wheels on my vtr,it wil be lowered by about 30 mm eventually, so how big can i go without needing to do anything to the arches, i just want to get them and bolt them straight on. what is the best offset to look for?
also a few of the clips have broke that hold the arches and door trim on so they flap about a bit, is there any stuff i can get to bond them back on without it looking a mess?
cheers for any help

60mm would prob be the max on 15" before arch work is needed you need wheels with a pcd of 4x108 and a ET15-18 as for the trim you can by the trim clips from ebay/citroen or you could use some tiger seal.....also the search button is your best friend there is loads of info covering this on the forum.

go to citroen and buy the clips, i do it all the time i think they are 21p each lol and the offset for a saxo is et15 iirc and on a saxo the biggest wheel you would want is a 15inch wheel, anything bigger looks stupid as most of the saxp community would agree with me and as vts's come as standard with 15"s then i cant see why they would rub with car only being lowered 30mm, im down 60mm front and 65mm back and i have 14"s and there is loads of room left in the arch (thats mainly because i have low profile tires) but only going down 30mm would be fine imo

and as jono83 said the search button is your friend and looking in the faq's at the top of each section, here is a guide on lowering has loads of pics of saxos with different wheels at different heights
