Ok im thinking of some old skool bmw wheels but havent had any luck finding an adapter does anyone know why???

excellent (old) thread ive just found during a search. Thanks Curran

I have a question which i think i may already have answered myself but here goes....

Standard VTR rims are 6x14 is assume with ET 15? Ive just bought some 13" 205 Rallye steels which are stamped 5x13 et 28. I thought this would be a problem and i may need spacers but then i thought of all the 106 rallye guys i do sprints with and they dont have any such issues. So.....I typed the measurements into the LINK 2 on the first post and despite the difference in width and offset the inner clearance turns out exactly the same (the outer needs retracting 26mm but i guess thats fine).... weird.

andy - the 205 steelies will fit directly without a problem.

they will look very skinny though with a lot of tuck

(didnt want to use a christmas smily but there isnt a normal laughing one)

i'm not sure what the offset of VTR wheels is.

if you use 15x7 et15 as the standard size and compare anything you want to fit to that, then you will be able to see if they fit or not.

205 steelies will have 12mm more clearance on the inside of the arch and 38mm more tuck. so you wont have any problems fitting them. they will just look a bit odd.

15x6, VTS wheels are 6J wide

still use 15x7 et15 when working out what wheels you can fit.

as 15x7 et15 have next to 0 clearance on the inner arch. so if you are looking to fit wider wheels, you want to use every mm available to you.

if you use 15x6 et15 to calculate it, you wont be using all the space available.

i wrote the guide with fitting wider wheels in mind.

hi im looking at buying these alloys but the size's are 4X100 PCD with an offset of 32mm-42mm... what do i need to do to make them fit to my saxo??? reply asap thankz

Curran · 20th March 2009, 16:15

you need the wheels to have an offset between 35 and 38 to use these spacers

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hubcentric-spa...742.m153.l1262

you also need to check the centre bore of the wheel

scott-sx · 21st March 2009, 11:52

the alloys are tsw razor's btw so is that ally i would need them spacers ???

Curran · 21st March 2009, 12:08

you need to check that yourself

I dont think this has been covered in this thread so will a 15' wheel with a 50 profile tyre rub on a vtr that has been lowered about 45mm?

Thanks

generally yes. but it depends on a number of other things.

the width of the tyre for example. i assume you mean 195/50/15 tyres

What size spacers would I need to fit a set of VTR/VTS alloys to a stardard saxo forte?

Lewis · 3rd November 2009, 19:35

Brill explination. Of interest, if i dropped the torsion bar, lowering the rear, would that reduce the maximum safe rim diameter i could put on?

supershineysaxo · 21st November 2009, 10:43

ok sooo um cud i get sum deep dish wheels suited for a vw to fit on my saxo with spacers/hub adapters?

vtSmith · 20th January 2010, 10:32

im looking at some alloys, there 108 studs. but 25et so 10mm spacers are needed? however, im unsure of the rim width, these are 6.5J, now i have some Goodyear eagle f1 tyres (new 3 mnths ago hence why i want to keep them) vts alloys, im looking to take these off my vts alloys and hopefully put them on the new wheels. Is this possible to do? thanks.

Curran · 20th January 2010, 18:09

tyres should be fine to swap over assuming the new wheels are also 15 inch.

and yes you will need 10mm spacers although i would go for 20mm myself

AdEvo · 24th January 2010, 02:31

Does anyone know where i can get some cheap 195/45/15 alloys from with 15 offset and 108 pcd?????

Ashes1989 · 3rd March 2010, 10:24

hi, do the citreon c2 gt alloys fit directly onto saxo's or do u need spacers?

ash.

tookieboy · 20th April 2010, 16:59

would Porsche 924 alloys fit on a 1.1 flatarch? there 4 x 108 14" not sure on how wide the wheels are

callam1989 · 4th June 2010, 20:50

17's will need arch work done. It is easiest if you run 35 profile tyres for 17's.

i have fitted loads of 17's on saxos and they have all been 205/40/17 without any arch work , so why would i need to use 35 tyres?
