nah you cant get 16s on base models without arch work let alone 17s. the 15s should be ok as long as your on a 45 profile tyre. The main issue i can think of is that the rims mite be 4 stud and you might have 3 stud axles. Snewham will be able to help with this, hes had loads of arch work done

nah defo not 16's or 17's on a 1.1 jus 15" max!!!!

know someone that fitted 16's and ruined his arches, wheels and power steering not worth the risk.

as far as i know all u need on a 1.1 is just the correct spacers if needed thats all. had mine fitted last week and only needed spacers.

your only other problem could be the stud width so check that its 108 on the saxos and the wheel needs to have the right offset. 15 - 20 i think.
