   Depends on the width of the wheels mate and how much your car's lowered by. I assume they're 7x16-inch wheels all round and if you've only dropped it up to 400mm, then they should fit without any probs.

   Sorry meant 40mm drop not 400mm!
   Also, you mean et38 plus 20mm spacers giving an offset of et18. Correct?
   Should be ok mate.

   If they're Ford fitment wheels, check that you can change the centre bore (with spigot rings) to the Saxo centre bore. Ford is 57mm, Saxo needs 65mm.
   Cool? :-)

    If they're made specifically for Ford then you'll need to get the centre bore machined. They're most likely Ford/Citroen/Peugeot fitment so you'll just need some new spigot rings.
