    I changed my alloys over yesterday and drove it today and while on full lock i have noticed that the tyre rubs. I was told these will be a straight fit onto the saxo when i bought them of someone on here. My car is lowered 35mm at the front. Do i need spacers or low profile tyres? Or cant i have them on my saxo?

    Why is it nothing seems to be simple with bloody saxos!

    need 45 profile (or 40 if you can find them) i had the same problem, low profiles are the answer

    Any tyre fitters should stock them and your probably looking 40+ for budgets and obviously more for branded

    Hi mate, when i put my 205 wheels on i had 195 50 15's, is that what you have? On my actual vts wheels the tyres are 195 45 15's and after i lowered it 50mm they were close, but never touched, with the 205 wheels i cant have anybody in the back and the fronts catch slightly on full lock, its annoying but they're only temporary wheels and the tyres were cheap though haha
