New alloys too wide for saxo desire.
 
Hi guys got a small problem im sure this has been covered before but my search has brought up nothing. Basically I have a 2001, 1.5d saxo, 3 doors. Bought some alloys size is
185/55/R14. They fit the hub but wont fit on by about an inch they are way to wide for the rear arches. Here is a picture showing where they are hitting inside the arch and stopping them going on.
screen capture windows" border="0" class="tcattdimglink" onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);" alt="" /> any ideas what I must do. Could I buy spacers? The gap is about an inch. Thanks guys.

What alloys are they?

If they're raptors, your beam could be on its way out. Are the rear wheels cambered at all?

Set of spacers should help you there.

Wheels are the wrong offset, sounds like they are ford offset!

Spacers as said above, but you will also need longer bolts!

They are not standard ford alloys but they are off a ford Ka. It seems like id need large spacers. Would this make the wheels stick out far from the arch.

The tires are too big!

20mm spacers & longer bolts if the wheels are ford fitment!
