they will rub, you need a 40 profile for them not too.

you only need to remove or cut part of the arch liners on a 45 profile tho iirc so its not a big problem

they look to big and you lose performance being a bigger wheel Which side of the performance are you looking at?
Handling on a 16" with a good performance tyre will be extremely good on a Citroen Saxo and wont cause any major problems with the right profile tyre or lip work on the arches.

acceleration, rolling radius

acceleration will only be affected if the alloys weight more and the rolling radius with 195/40/16 is the same as 195/15/45 or 50 can't remember.
look alot better than 15", but each to their own

i have 195/40/16's and there is about 1/2" bigger than 15" vts alloys with 45 profile tires on. handling is alot better aswell. continental tires so they are good in the wet aswell or so it says on there website.
