key word there is easiest
its easier to stop the tyre rubbing on the wheel arch if you use a 35 profile tyre.
using a 40 profile with no arch work will just rub all the time.

I found some nice rims im thinking of buying. Got a question though.
At the moment, i got 7x16" rims, with ET35. They fit my Saxo without spacers (although im using spacers, to get the tires closer to the wheel arch)
The new rims I found, is 8 and 9x16" with ET20 and ET35. Im guessing that the two 8x16" is ET35 , and the two 9x16" is ET20.
But, will this fit my car, without spacers?
Greetings.

Man am I stupid. Just checked my wheels, and the ET is 20 (not 35 as I thougt) .
So I guess the new rims wont fit my car without spacers?

I understand the whole ford fitment, getting et35 to saxo requires 20mm spacers.. But how on earth would you add offset?
I have found wheels that will fit in all other aspects, e.g pcd/stud fitment etc but the offset is 10.. How would I correct that to 15 for saxo fitment as I thought spacers reduce it?

Not possible mate.
Or, your might need to grind some of the inner rim of. But i've heard you only can do a couple of cm.

I thought that might be the case Boo. They are beautiful wheels.
Thanks!

I know the above is an old post, but for those who search..
Spacing your wheels that hit the outer arch out further will make the problem worse.
The models with a 'kit' on have the quarter cut away.
