   Right on my R reg saxo,
   
   i had 15" alloys on it. after realizing they rubbed after having just one person sat in the back i took them back off. i did try using spacers. i had the wheel arches rolled etc etc.
   is there anything else that might help so i can buy another set and put them back on ?
   
   Thanks

   Make sure that the tyres have the correct size of rubber fitted - for 15" its 195 45 15

   I have 16s on my mk1 saxo they dont rub at all and ive had it lowered by 60mm at the back... I can have a car full of people and they are fine, had to have the arches flared because of how wide the tyres were so it could be that... ive got 195 45 16 tyres... you should try that i cant really think of any other reason they would rub. Hope this helps. x

   i think if i remember rightly it was rubbing on the inside not the arches where they have been rolled. so there wasnt enough room to fit my hand down the other side,
