   Hi, im wondering if some one could help me please? I have got a Saxo P reg 97' and I was wondering if any one knows if the wheels are 3 or 4 stud?
   
   You may be thinking why don't I just go look my self, well I can't because the car isn't at my house, because I havn't passed my test yet!
   
   Rep available for some one's wonderful wisdom!

   Didn't think that it would make a differance between 1.1/1.4?
   
   Thought it was just on year / make and model. And a friend has a 1.1 P reg 97' Saxo with 3 Stud, but maybe not the case then, and ill be glad if it's not because theres a lot bigger market for 4 stud rather than 3, or at least where I have been looking!

   yea mate its usually thought that its 1.1's that are 3 stud...but my 1.1 is 4 stud also...but im pretty sure your car will be a 4 stud.
   
   And the selection of wheels is defo better for a 4 stud mate ...although there is a few nice 3 stud alloys out there.

    Because if you would of read my first post Pred, you would of seen that I have put the car isn't at my house, becuase I have not passed my test yet and there is no room on my drive for a car just to be sat there!

    I'm led to believe the reason that some of the 'lesser' models of the earlier selection of sax's used citroen stock that was still lying about such as 3 stud AX hubs. Hope this helps solve the 3 stud mystery!
