Saxo pcd is 4x108 so they will fit in that respect, what is the offset of the wheels? Saxo offset is et15-18.

Offset of my 15 inch Lenso's is 20 iirc, i assume the 16 inch ones would have the same offset. So you would need 5mm spacers to take them down to offset 15

Yes that tyre profile is too big, 195/40/16 is the tyre size needed for a straight fit i think, not sure if its still a straight fit when your lowered 50/60mm.

whats the centre bore of the wheels. is it bigger than saxos? if not it wont fit without machine work done to them.
If they are bigger you will need to purchase spigot rings

they are aftermarket wheels, they have a massive centrebore and need specific spigot rings to fit each car

yes you will need citron specific spigots, iirc the offset on them is et28 and on a 7.5j, you may need spacers but not 20mm, best getting the spigots, fitting the wheels and then you can measure what size spacers you need, if you actually need any

No! Read above, you will almost definitely get scrubbing on the arches and full lock with the tyres. And FYI civic PCD is 4x100 so these wont fit

195/40's will be fine, few people run 16's. The reality is if you want them to fit, you will make them fit. Therefore you could always remove the arch liners or pull the arches slightly.
Also the wheels are multi-fit, hence 4x100 and 4x108, I don't think Lenso made mutli-fit, are you sure they arn't replica's?
