    Today I fitted some Wolfrace Black Octains, the only potential problem is the offset is 22.

    Will I need 5mm spacers? they're on there now I can hear slight rubbing on full lock but none over bumps etc.. so it's drivable for now.

    I'm just not a fan of spacers.

    They are the wrong fitment for a saxo... you will need at least 4mm spacers but 7mm spacers are recommended - to prevent any chances of rubbing on full lock etc. So anything within that range should suffice.. but definately put some spacers on!

    You will also need some extended bolts...

    Cheers Alex, any idea how much it'll cost?

    I'm not sure if I need extended bolts as I'm using the standard VTR wheels ones which if I'm bringing the current alloys to the same offset as the VTR ones the old bolts should be fine?
    They fit tight as it is even though it's 7mm short.

    I bought a set of spacers on ebay for about £10-15... then decided to buy vts rims so flogged them on at the same price... there are loads and are reasonably priced...

    Im not 100% sure about bolt fitments... you are probably best just calling a company like r-tec or sending them an email and see what they say...
