   Yeah I've currently got 8x15's lowered about 110mm at the front and 9x15's and lowered in the reigon of 100mm at the back, and the don't really rub so its certainly not impossible.

   ye for 9x14's look at chandlers thread, for 9x15's look at beanimoo's seen afew 9x16's but dont look right on a saxo! The trick is to get the highest offset wheels without them fouling on anything inside the arch like struts or trailing arms. If you get the offset wrong u'll end up with the wheel poking to much & have to use a bigger stretched tyre.To get a wheel to poke out the arch u dont nesicerally (sp) have to use wider wheels, it can be done with offset aswell. Unless you really know what ur doing and measure everything twice 8's give you more margine for error. I think lee's bbs's where the wrong offset when he trial fitted them. You can still get a staggered look with 8's all round by simply having alternative offsets front & back.
   Even if there abit tucked u can then space them out, its ALOT easier to get a slightly narrow wheel to sit well in relation to the arch for stance than a wheel to wide. Although that been said the widest wheels you can fit always give a better looking stance in my view than wheels spaced to the same width.

    As I said mine are 8's on the front and 9's on the rear
