Sure you have asked about 40 questions on wheels and spacers..
(if it wasnt you, then my bad, but your name seems familiar :detective:)

you will need 20mm spacer, but i doubt they would look any good on a saxo

Genuine cosworth wheels or you just telling porkies?

Pics would also help of 1) the car 2) the wheels 3) your mrs (optional)

[dan_dan_the_saxo_man]

[dan_dan_the_saxo_man]

[saxo_singh]

Don't do it mannn :n: If anything just buy some vtr wheels cheap if you want alloys.

i got vtr and vts alloys lol...just bored and i liked these wheels

[saxo-parts]

thought scorpios were 5 stud

[wassy78]

Me to if his dad gives him the bolts to looks like he's got 4 spare :)

[saxo-parts]

could use them to bolt the spare to the bonnet Defender styleee

[wassy78]

Great idea :) never been done to a Saxo :)

[saxo-parts]

or to the boot lid, paint the car NATO green, new take on rat look, KombatKar

[dan_dan_the_saxo_man]

nope 4 stud :D

[dan_dan_the_saxo_man]

and woah at the price! i didn't know!

[Furio-Gaz-Saxo]

The fittment should be the same 4x108 only difference will be centre bore, so spigot rings or spacers.

I tries to put my bosses escort cosworth alloys on mine but bore was different

i suppose now its how they will look...dad said hes took one off so ill pic up ASAP :D

[jeffchiz]

Will cost more than they are worth will need 195/45/16 tires at the very least, toyos in this size are a good £300, and then 20mm spacers and longer bolts gonna cost about £100

Fit part worn tires and source second hand spacers and bolts would be the only worth while doing if you really want them

[LSOfreak]

i thought 16's will need 195/40's to fit without rubbing? :detective:

as said, take into account spending a couple of hundred on a set of tyres... and then a set of 20mm spacers all round (hubcentrics or spacers and longer bolts which can be dodgy sometimes) is it really worth it for a set of alloys which arent particularly great looking?

also i imagine without lowering, it will look like an absolute monster truck on 16's. you'd probably be able to stand under your own car

i think the 5 spoke escort gti wheels look pretty good on saxos. Remember someone on here had them once

[dan_dan_the_saxo_man]

well thanks for the advice...to be honest i like the looks of them

Well ive got 45's rubs when I'm driving spritidly lol but I am down 60mm so if your not as low then it would be fine

well thanks for the advice...to be honest i like the looks of them

I really like them but always been put off them as they are off a 206 which always means they need tires and spacers :( unless your lucky enough to find someone selling them off a saxo/106

[jeffchiz]

Sorry getting confused between threads but what I said. Is still true lol

[Ben_SaxoForte]

I like them but think there are better options for a saxo bearing in mind the money your gonna have to spend on tyres & spacers & bolts

[marinemackay2003]

^ agree with

think there are better options imo

but as long as you like them who cares

[dan_dan_the_saxo_man]

cheers all...ill soon find out when i see what they look like when on

[jakeyboi]

man up and just buy the bbs for sale in the for sale section , by the time youve got smaller tyres , had them fitted , brought some spacers you will have a fair size hole in your pocket

[jakeyboi]

plus 16s look gash on a saxo

[dan_dan_the_saxo_man]

thanks i guess...

but im still going to see how they look.

had one wheel out today and put it infront of a wheel...and its already bigger than the arch...and the width looks cool they look like right chunks!

[marinemackay2003]

get some pics up of them fitted

[dan_dan_the_saxo_man]

get some pics up of them fitted

ye will...going to have to think stuff through first though ha

[dan_dan_the_saxo_man]

okay think i may have a crack tmz...fairly certain im going to have to go 40 profile...or atleast 45


do i need spacers on just the rear wheels or the front too?...and what width tyre is the most i can have?...there 225's now

[dan_dan_the_saxo_man]

so these are what i have on now...reason i want to change is im a bit fed up..thats all

http://i40.tinypic.com/sggydw.jpg



and these are what the wheels are going to look like...tried putting them on and failed...i now know why i need spacers and longer bolts haha...i think they look great...just dirty...195/45 tyres fitted...reduced from 225/50.


http://i39.tinypic.com/2q33n09.jpg


so...stuff left i need...set of all 4 tyres...the guy i went to said £35 each

need 20mm spacers by the looks of it

and i need longer bolts.
