Hi.

I got a saxo W reg 1.5 desire couple of weeks ago.

I bought from ebay a set of alloys (4 studs) 14" with tyres 165/85 but it seems that the space beetwen the tyre and the suspension at the rear is less than 5mm I read that I can fit some spacers and long studs. Where can I get these things from and what type? what is the advice. Thanks. ED

If they're not touching then it wont be a problem, you don't need spacers.

My clearance between the rear arm and the wheel is about 2-3mm and I've had no problems at all.
