Technical saxo alloys
My doblo is fitted with 15" wheels as factory standard. I imagine that the development process was geared around the vehicle finally having 15" wheels & so the speedo is calibrated for this & the whole drive train will be designed around a 15" wheel.
Is it worth the effort?

My Doblo, an '03, came with 14" wheels as standard. 15" became the new standard with the makeover a couple of years ago. I know very little about wheels, but I do know that they have to sit properly on the hubs and everything has to fit. There are spacers, but...????
I would go to a reputable tyre fitter and speak to them, that is if you don't get a comprehensive response here. Year and model matter here, and tyre spec. Good luck.

If you check your existing tyres you can use http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp to see how far out your speedo will be. In terms of fitting, I could be wrong but I *think* Citroen use 4x108 PCD and Fiat's are generally 4x98 or 4x100 so fitting would be impossible without hub adaptors which cost big money. You'll also need to take the offset (ET) into consideration. Your existing wheels will have this stamped on them (you may have to remove them to check) and it will probably be something like ET30. If the Saxo wheels are a similar ET and the PCD is a straight fit then yes, they will just go straight on. If the ET is different then you need to start thinking about spacers, etc.
