   You will need spacers and probly to remove the inner arch's. JAM's old one on 17's:

   id definatly chop the rear bumper bracket back aswell as removing liners ect otherwise that things like a knife at your tyres with bigger diameters

   17's with 45 profile tyre as well? You mad?
   
   You cannot even get away with 16's with 45 profile (has to be 40 profile). I would either personally fuck the idea off, or get some 30/35 profile tyres on them alloys. You're mad if you try 45's.

    Atleast there OEM wheels not some gash aftermarket ones, fit some 185/35/17 tyres and get it sitting right, could look pretty good.

    theyre nice alloys but personally wouldnt have 17s on a saxo. i had 16's 195/45s on my old mango which was lowerd around 60mm and didnt rate it. scrubbed when hittin dips in the road and lock to lock. ended up going back to 15's.

    would look a little odd. theyre just too big for a saxo. i sometimes think my 15' vts wheels look too big...
    also if you drive with no inner arches, your door shuts will always be muddy, and under your ecu/fusebox will rust like hell
