Rears will need 25mm spacers, fronts shod fit without at a push, but if you want them pushed out a bit more put some 20-25mm spacers on front aswell

Do not listen to the above post mate saxos are et15 so rears would be a straight fit and fronts may require a 5mm spacer

they are certainly dished!

I'd go 5mm spacers all round. I had 8j on the rear with et15. they fit fine but are really close to the inner arch

[JakeMoore]

and how low were you at llardy when you had yours? cheers for the replies guys! :)

[JakeMoore]

i was gonna go 25mm at the rear and 10 at the front. Opinions?

I was don't 80 at back and 85 at at rear. if you only go 50ish you can get 20 mm spacers. but any further than that then your gonna have to shave the plastic arches

saxo's are et15 with standard width wheels.

had the same dilemma myself 3 months ago when I was looking to buy some new alloys.

8j rears with et15 are different to vtr alloys with et15.
the extra width of the 8j rim extends the wheel both ways, not just towards the outer rim.

so from my own recent experience, 15" 8j rears do require a 25mm spacer and stretched tyres help to avoid any arch rub.

I've never seen copy Borbets before. Original Borbets are fairly easy to come by, I have some on my Mr2:
