Depends, if u have a base model then even 15's will rub at the back with more than 3 ppl in the car. But if u have a furio, VTR and so on then you can fit 16's i think comfortably.

Well, there has been a Saxo w/20s, so i think that u can probably fit nethin upto that

But w/20s,ull have 2 do alot of mods, but w/the base models, 2 fit on 15s, then ull need 2 roll the arches, even if u wanna or not

on a base model you can get the VTR alloys on with no problems but with anythign larger you will need to bend/cut the lip in the rear arch

on VT kitted models you can get 16's with 195/40 profile tyres on with no rubbing

Probably do that not got a car yet but will probably eventually go for a VT model whent the insurance is reasonable and go for 16's.. Was considering getting a base model Saxo as I can get one cheap but I think I might just wait until I can afford "the real mccoy" So that it looks stunnin as I think the VT model generally looks better.. smileys/smiley16.gif

Thats weird cause i have a vtr with the standard alloys on and when i had three people in the back the rear left arch was gettin scrapped like f*ck. you recon this could be buggered suspension or summit cause its just had the rear axle changed after a collision with a curb.
