45 profile on 16" wheels on a 50mm drop will rub on VT* and Flat arch.

Only minor mods needs for the VT* but on the flat arch i recken a lot will be needed.

Get the 40mm profile well worth it

ever thing why they are easy to get hold of?

Becuase they are pretty much usless on the saxo. Poople buy the wheels from whereever then correct the profile.

195/45 r16s no good to most sax owners so they get rid and get the 40s, depending on ur car u may get away wid 45s but i really doubt it , get the 40s if possible, o had pay an extra £100 for my new oz's to come in 16s with 40s, well worth it tho specially as me car down 100mm

mine is lowered 60mm on 16s, used to have 45 profiles on them, i had to remove front and rear liners, then grind away some of the rear bumper bracket off, i could then have a full load no probs without rubbing.
i have 40s on now and they are spot on :)

Mines lowered 40mm with 16's running 45's and they used to rub on full lock, but i got the hammer out and tapped the arches back a bit and they now dont rub.
