According to my research, the following were the 'official' tire sizes for the Saab 9-3SS Vector/Aero sold model in the USA.
Stock on 2003 9-3 Vector Sedan was 225/45-17 tire with 17x7 rims. NOTE: Load Rating 93 to 94 required, typically labeled XL (extra load) or RF (reinforced).
Stock on 2004 9-3 Aero Sedan was 215/50-17 tires with 17x7 rims.
Stock on 2005 9-3 Aero Sedan and 2004/2005 9-3 Aero CVT were 225/45-17 tires with 17x7 rims. NOTE: Load Rating 93 to 94 required, typically labeled XL (extra load) or RF (reinforced).
Stock size on all 2006-2007 Aero is 235/45-17 tires with 17x7.5 rims.
These tire sizes are all within 2% of each other in outside diameter.
