    Want to fit som 20mm spacers on the rear wheels and found these on ebay.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-Sa...f#ht_500wt_969

    However i was thinking would these move around kind of as they don't fit onto the center bore hub bit and the alloy would not be snug. Sorry for the bad explanation. thanks

    Yea I wouldnt bother with them,look for some hubcentrics,even just hubcentrics with the hub flange on should suffice

    you may need your arches rolling not spacers as spacers are normally used to adapt the alloy to the offset and the offsrt will be correct if using vts alloys.. what model sax you got?

    Well it's like a bumpy noise, maybe driveshafts, but they don't make noises whilst moving anyway. sounds like somethings rubbing
