    hi i wanna buy these wheels off ebay for my euro style saxo http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-bbs-rs-...item232157ce43
    the details says 4x100/108 so if i just bought them like that would they fit cus ive read tht ONLY 108 fits and would 100? .

    Also can some one point me the right way to get some nice stretched tyres? thanks!!

    You'd need spacers and spigot rings for these to fit due to the offset and centre bore

    yeah ive figured out the spacers to be 10mm. what size spigot ring would i need? and will the fact its 4x100/108 matter? also on the description it says 15x8 what does this mean?

    centre bore on a saxo is 65.1 and the wheels are 72.6 so you would need one to convert from 65.1 to 72.6.

    Such as these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-SPIGOT...item33781c6fb9

    8J means the wheels are 8 inch wide.

    4x100/108 means they are multifitment so will have 8 bolt holes rather than 4

    they are 4x100/108 which means they fit both as they have 8 bolt holes rather than 4 meaning they can fit both.

    As for fitting issues with 8J, i'm not sure, hang about and wait for someone with the know how. I'd of said you'd need bigger than 10mm spacers though

    hi mate,

    recently fitted 8j rears and 7j fronts to my saxo vtr.

    need 20mm spacers to fit 8j on rear and you'll need stretched tyres aswell to keep tread under arches.

    4x100/4x108 as said before has both sets of bolt holes, just put the wheel on the hub and turn it till the bolt holes line up with holes on hub/spacer.

    hope this helps

    just noticed they are et25.

    mine are et15 and needed 20mm spacers so you will probably need a 30mm spacer to make these fit.

    might be better if you can find a set with a et15

    i got my wheels and tyres from wheelbase alloys.

    seen nankang ns2's for around £38 each after a quick search on google.

    try stanced uk on facebook, they sell all sorts of euro wheels in different fitments including lensos that look like the ones you've seen on ebay

    You don't buy stretched tyres, they're just normal tyres that are too small for the width of the alloy. So go to any dodgy tyre centre and they'll fit them for you.

    195/45/15 would be a good start on an 8J wheel.

    8j is inches so 8 inches is 203.2 millimetres? yh? so 195 would be stretched enough...

    Not seen lenses except in pics but think the lenses only have a deeper dish on 9j.
    The dish on the ones I have is noticably deeper than the 7j fronts

    Lenso BSX are shit. End of.

    If you want to run BBS style wheels, buy Dare DR-RS.

    I use to run them and they looked pretty decent.
