   Hi,
   sorry this is my first post and don't know if this has been asked previously.
   
   I've just bought a 51 plate furio as a run about, i was told when i bought the car it did not have the standard size wheels on, and have noticed when i put the full lock on turning the wheels rub against the arch.
   the wheels fitted are vts i believe (185/55/15) and i want to put on some that will not rub anymore, could anyone tell me the correct wheel/tyre size for the furio and does anyone know if I fit the vtr alloys (185/55/14) will i still have the same problem.
   
   thanks in advance.
   dave

   I asked that question when i bought it as was told no, and it doesnt look to have been lowered, so hopefully they will be ok then, just ive seen a few on ebay for a ok price. thanks

   VTR wheels won't rub on a furio, if your local i would swap my vtr wheels for your vts wheels?

   vts wheels from a saxo came with 195/45/15 tyres.
   
   I would guess that your vts wheels came from a xsara vts or the previous owner was tight and got the cheaper 185/55/15 tyres fitted.
   
   Either get some 195/45/15 tyres fitted or sell/swap them for some vtr wheels plus cash

   my furio came with standard rims (steels) which are same size as vtr wheels but but there thinner , ive been told that vtr alloys were a optional extra when new but i put my alloys on and they rub like crazy on full lock so will see if wheel spacers will do the trick

    I dont see how any vtr or vts wheel will cause a problem compared to any other saxo??? I thought all the bodys were the same, other than trim etc...
