   Can you post a pic of your car? Other than that, either ask someone from here to measure the height of their standard suspension, or go to a citroen dealer and measure any saxos on their forecourt
   What wheels is it you want to buy? Post that info and 99% sure we'll tell you if they will rub.

   if you get some nice low profiles it will roughly be the same size as the alloys you have at the mo
