please help
Im having a few problems with my saxo, i have 3 stud pattern, and i can get hold of a set of wide steels to fit a smart car, does anyone know if they'll fit (before i buy them) IF NOT, i have my 4 stud banded 15" steels and am wondering if it is as simple as just changing the hubs to 4 stud or do i have to change the lot? please help as i really want to get it on the road..... Thanks

you can get 4 stud hubcentric adapters, about 100kwid of ebay, i used to have a 3 stud n was considering on getting some myself back then as the range of 3 stud wheels is poor. I dont know how safe they are but if i was you id get a price on doing it the proper way, and change the hubs 3 to 4

Thems the hub adaptors. If your goin for a proper conversion mate suggest rear 4 stud drum axel with front four stud lower struts, be looking at 140-160ish depending on what spec ya buy, best getting a price on it all and fitting, all you need then is some vtr wheels 
If all else fails mate, cash in and get a four stud, problem solved
