   Hi, i've got a P reg 1.4i saxo. looking for a set of alloys to fit but not sure how big i can go without them rubbing the arches. i also will be getting some lowering springs so will have to take that into account when buying alloys. dont particularly want to start modding the arches if can help it!

   Don't wanna go any bigger than 16's really mate. Get 14's and then drop the bugger for all its worth! Like Jim has said though that really the guidline.

   It also depends what tyres you are going to use.40mm with 195/40R16s will be fine without hardly any work.
