   hey im thinking of purchasing a set of alloys but do not know which size wheels would fit best because a friend of mine had a saxo but he put too bigger wheels on and when he had weight in the back it rubbed on the arches
   
   what size wheels do you lot have on your cars??

   i have standard vtr rims which are 14s but im lowered 60mm
   
   all depends if yours is loweered mate??
   
   also am guessing yours is a 1.1, so with it being flat arched you will have trouble fitting a 16inch alloys upwards, id say get some 15s and lower it about 40mm
