Im about to order 195/45/15, team dynamics white monza wheels & tyres.

the offset is 38. stud pattern is 108. am i right in thinking that these will go on no probs with spacers? how much the spacers gonna set me back roughly?

also after i got my wheels on, gonna want it lowered about 35 maybe 40 mm as going for rally stylee!

gonna go springs and shocks on the front,, but i dont want to just loosen the tension on my torsion bar to lower the rear as surely having tight front and loose rear even though lower will make the handling crap?! can u lower the standard torsion bar and retain the amount of tension you need, or do u have to buy a new bar??

hope this makes sense!!

need 20mm spacers, if your ordering new for a saxo they should come with teh wheels if not most places should be able to order you some with longer bolts.

You dont loosen the tension on hte bar to lower it, the bar is tensioned by the arms being pushed up with weight of the car. When you lower it your only moving the arms up then reinserting the bar exactly as it was when standard so when you lower it back to the groudn the tension will be put back on the bars exactly as it was before
