   I might be getting some alloys for the saxo they are literally just a set of alloys with tyres. I know I will need some locking bolts but is there anything else I need before I fit them?

   It really depends on the size of the alloys are they made to fit a Saxo?

   take the wheel nuts off, put wheel on, put wheel nuts back on.

   If they are aftermarket alloys you'll most likely need tapered bolts and depending on the offset - some wheel spacers.

   ok how do i find out the offset of the wheel? the guy selling them took them straight off a saxo so i can only assume they are the right offset.
