   would these be a straight swap? i.e right stud patteren and better still
   right tyres for a saxo vtr? Im new to saxo's, im guessin by the brief description that these maybe about half an inch wider than saxo vtr alloys? and obv the tyres wud need changing?

   i know that xsara vtr wheels are the same as saxo vts wheels, so im guessing they would fit, altho i cant see ebay at work at the moment so couldnt tell you
   
   if they are 15" you will need 195 45 15 tyres

   The stud pattern is spot on, so will fit! the tyre however is the wrong profile, the tyres on the xsara wheels were 195/60/14 and you might find that they are slightly too big. The ideal tyre for these wheels would be 195/55/14 this will be perfect for fitting in the arch also it wouldn't knock out your speedo! hope this helps!

   For 14" wheels you should run 185/55/14 - stock Vtr size! Not 195/55/14!
   The other 14" option is 195/45/14!
