i am looking to fit some 15" tsw wheels (195/50r15 82h) to my VTR but i am having some problems. I tried to fit the front one but it hit the suspension arm before it the hub so i am going to need about a 25mm spacer. Will this mean the wheel will stand out over the edge of the wheel arch?

And secondly what does eveybody do about the spare wheel, will it fit into the spare wheel space under the car or will i need to make adjustments or can i use something smaller?

Hope someone can help me!!!!

sounds like you've got the wrong offset wheels mate for a saxo your offset should be et15,did you buy them brand new or get them off a different car?

as for the spare when i actually had one i just kept the vtr wheel that was already there as it was the same rolling radius as my new wheels

They are off a seat ibiza...my wheels at minute are 185/55r14 80h so what can you recommend instead of these..

not too sure on seat offsets ask your mate if he knows what offset they are

your better off sticking to the et15 offset that a saxo uses instead of pissing about with spacers

i've got 20mm spacers on my Oz Superleggeras. Can be a bit of a pain to fit if you're not used to them, but apart from that they're fine. Don't forget the extended bolts though!
