   iirc you have to use those size tyres, because if you run them with 50's they rub.

   yh they work best with 45s on, i got 50's on mine and they only rub on full lock. imo go for 45's unles the tires u want only come in 50's then learn to live with not alot of full lock.

   you can run 50's on saxo's
   
   just dont go that low, and expect a little rubbing on full lock
   
   many people do, even with 205 width

   if you have 50s they also rub with people in the back so go for the 45 option and no matter how many people you have in the back they will not rub hence the reason citroen put 45s on the vts wheels
