   he means the offset,if they are for a saxo they should be ok if they are off another make ford etc you will need spacers,to make up the difference.The internet is full of everything you need to know about anything,use it

   3 stud
   so wont be ford wheels
   
   usually 3 studs will be fine to go on as there only really made for a few cars

   if its just slight rubbing you wont need 15s mate
   
   might only need about 5mm
   
   i had scrubbing so bad my rear wheels wouldnt spin on my 1.1 when i fitted 7j 16s to it
   fixed with 3mm spacers

    well 3mm made mine work
    
    honestly if its just a scrub theres no need for much more than 5mm

    can you put 2 together to make it 6mm? (just incase) or is it advised not to?
