   If the offset is different then yeh you will need spacers for sure. What is the 206 offset?

   Basically the offset is how close the wheel is to the hub, so if the offset is higher it will be closer. A saxo's offset is anything between ET15-18.
   So for an ET38 you would need 20mm spacers

   how big will the spacers have to be,
   
   and ive read some bad things about spacers can people put my mind to rest, or should i forget about the nimrods?

   tbh i think they are the same offsets as saxo - people usually put spacers on to fill the arches better. there is nothing wrong with using spacers really - i have them and have had no probs.

   206 is ET26. 10mm spacers will clear all, you might even get away with 5mm. I ran 20mm spacers for 2 years and had no troubles

    will they be any good or will they push the wheels out to much?
    
    and could i get away with profile 45? or are they going to course rubbing?

    a saxo is a 20 offset, a pug 206 is 28, so about 8 mm difference, just get a set of 10mm spacers and it should be ok.
