saxo wheels

[fredkruger]

can i use citroen saxo wheel nuts on my 306 as i have some vts alloys.has anyone got any for sale or any other wheel nuts i could use for them.cheers chaps.

 

[jarrus]

Your standard wheel nuts should be fine if they ate flat with a washer

 

[turbonutter69]

You can't use wheel nuts that are ment for a steel wheel on alloy wheels.
Saxo wheel nuts should fit as long as they are off a 4 stud Saxo and not a 3 stud one.

[fredkruger]

[turbonutter69]

Good stuff pal. Bet they look sweet black.

 

[fredkruger]

From this.

To this.

 

[turbonutter69]

They looks sweet buddy.

 

[fredkruger]

stripped them down to bare metal or alloy..lol.worth it though.

 

[turbonutter69]

Well worth it mate. Good work.

 

[fredkruger]

cheers mate.one of my to do list i can tick.its a long list.lol

 

[jarrus]

They look really nice,

could you do mine as well

 

[jarrus]

an by the way, is wasn't joking, I'm useless with a rattle can and I've desided I don't like the white wheels, 14" saxo wheels do look nice but you can't have GTI6 front brakes in them as they are too small but 306 hdi/xsi brakes should fit and are still a good upgrade, I do find the standard brakes to ware out and fade very quickly, they are also used on the 1.1 saxo so are deffinately going to be over worked, our cars are both quicker and heavier and have to cope with the same brakes..... excellent.....

 

[fredkruger]

cheers for the heads up on the brakes.i will look into that at a later date.i would have thought the white would have looked nice with the colour of your car.when we gonna see the old lady with her new mods.am looking forward to your project.i hope to mod mine along the same lines.i would like to change the drums at the back for discs.is it only the gt16 that has them or could i get them off another model.

 

[jarrus]

You need the whole rear axle chap, they can be found on either:
Gti6
S16
Xsi
HDi

they all have the same rear axle, the reason for changing the whole lot is that you get other benefits (besides the discs) like a stiffer ARB and stiffer torsion bars.

it's a worth while upgrade, just make sure the swing arm barings are in good nick before you buy

 

[jarrus]

and I would want my wheels the same colour as you've done yours,

 

[fredkruger]

lol.i like em white.have you got them on yet.

Good job on the wheels. Make sure you go for some decent tyres.
