Right he has a Paxo on a 51 plate (NOT a VTR).

It has 15" alloys at the mo and he wants to know if he could get 17s on without having to do any arch work...... the reason he want to know is that someone told him the front bumper would have to be taken off to be able to get 17s on.

Thanks

He defo wants bigger..... and I agree 15s do look small.....

Could he get 16s then?? - I know he wants 17s really....

Is taking the arches out hard??
Could he get 16s without a problem?

17s on a non VT arched saxo, and lowered. Will probably have to butcher the arches, and probably little hope of carrying rear passengers. Will probably rub lowered on 15s.
