Hey there folks..

Well, i was going to go for 15" Fox R3's (195/45/15) for my Saxo Forte 52-plate but some people in car shops are telling me they will fit, others are saying they wont fit all all, and some are saying they will if i remove the arch lining and small lip on the rear arch but still may get rubbing on full lock at the front.

I knew the offset was way off on these wheels (38) but still people said they would fit straight on and such, so i'm confused and don't really want to take the £350 risk to see if they will fit, with only being a student!

Could anybody give any extra advice concerning those alloys?

Also could anyone recommend any decent places to get alloys with the tyres? I ideally want black and around £350? The R3's i liked, and they were in budget!

Cheers everyone and here i was thinking alloys were going to be simple :panic:

with it being a flat arched model on the rear you may get some rubbing, id suggest you get some 40 profile tyres instead :y:

what fitment are the alloys for exactly??

can you get 195/40/15???? thought 45 was lowest you could go

you may get a bit on the back but a few little arch mods will sort that
