   Think 283s sit behind 15s
   
   So 16s should be fine
   
   Make sure to get 40 profile tyres

   Yeah I was more thinking on the clearance for the calipers and inner face of the wheel.like does there need to be any offset at the hub to clear the caliper

   that's good going, as they are ET28 too, so should run with about a 10mm spacer on a Saxo.
   
   16"s are a bit big for a standard arched saxo though I think.

   I am running some ford fitment TSW`s 16s on 25mm spacers and have no problems with the highspecs clearing the inner face of the wheels,the cars been dropped 45mm and I have no rubbing problems.if you got brembos under the nimrods hi specs may fit I think hi specs are a little larger than other 4pots setups tho
