   you will need 10mm spacers i think mate
   
   tbh i wouldnt bother with 17s, just a way to make the car slower, and you get a load of problems, not worth it, get some 15s or 16s

   Definitely need arch work for 17's. My mates was rubbing on EVERYTHING before he got arch work done.
   
   imo they look odd on most saxo's anyway, too big

   Don't need arch work, seen 17's fitted to a saxo with nothing but 20mm spacers. However I can't say they looked nice

    You do need a little bit of arch work to fit 17s.Mine was down 40mm with 17s and needed abit of working doing to it so they didnt rub.
