   Ive just got a Saxo 1.4i VSX and was wondering what size alloys i could fit on it with out doing anything to it. my tyers say 170/65/13 dose this mean i can only get 13" alloys for my car? this is my first car i dont know anything about cars so i thought id ask. ive been offered a set of 14" alloys but im not sure if they`d fit?? any help would be great thanks.

   Max to go for on a Saxo is 15" mate - for every inch you go up in alloy you must come down an inch in tyre to avoid scrappage etc.
   My tyres are 185/45/R15 on 15" team dynamics pro race 1.2's

   I would also go for 15`s myself, They will fit just right so nothing to worry about there
   
   14`s will fit just fine but you`ll have alot of space between the arch and the alloy thats all, nothing to worry about though mate.
   
   Hope i`ve helped you.

   Most people go for 195/45/15 as this is best for handling and looks but you can use 16"s without too much trouble

   17s look cool
   
   on a serious note, if your getting the 14's, theyll fit providing they have the correct offset, and the correct width
