   I know someone who had minilites on a saxo and they looked amazing, they were 8x13's though. I couldn't tell you what would be required to fit them, but he fitted them to see if they looked good so I doubt there was too much trouble. I apologise for not really helping lol.

   is there the same fitment, then there shoudnt be a problem, you may need spacers though, contact FisherVts, he has them on his car, he will be your best bet.

   i've been lookin at 13" wheels atm, just check that they will fit over ur calipers, et -7 is gonna make them sit out abit wide as the standard is et18 so check where there gonna sit as u mite need sum bigger archs or sum sick looking stretched tyres, so check them first then if there all gd get em and fit them up

   to fit these wheels mate you will need to do the following
   you will need some good stretch on them tires because you will need 10mm spacers all round, also you will need to shave the face of your caliper down at least 0.5mm and you will need longer wheel nuts that is all
