   Hi guys,
   
   Recently bought a 1998 1.1 litre saxo, and looking to put VTR wheels on it. The only problem is, it is a 3 stud.
   
   Any suggestions?

   Yup you will need a 4 stud conversion. Have a search on here for some help.

   I've seen some adapters, but tbh. They look well unsafe, just join the 3-Stud Crew
   Speaking of that, 1.1 EastCoast forsale!

   If you want to change it to 4 stud you have to change back axle, front legs and possibly the driveshafts.

   Those adaptors wouldn't let you fit vt alloys as they change the pcd to 4x100mm. Also they would alter the ofset.

    If you were to fit a conversion kit like that, you would need wheels off a renault or vauxhall, but not sure if the offset will be totally different.

    get 4 stud struts off a bent vt/westie/furio
    
    and then get a 4stud rear beam
    
    by far the easyest option
