'86 9000 Wheel Size

This is a 'dumb question', but I looked in the archives and called B&B Saab, without too much luck. I just turned my 15" alloy wheels over to snow tires, and want to get some 16" or even 17" wheels for dry/wet performance tires.
Used is fine, but I was also considering ordering new from http://www.tirerack.com. What sizes will physically fit my car (stock suspension, as far as I know)? I would like to maintain ride height and odometer accuracy/outer tire diameter.
B&B Saab suggests either the 15x6 or 16x6.5 wheel, TireRack lists 15x7, 16x7.5, and even 17x7.5.
I'm also open to tire recommendations, looking for good wet behavior because the freeways puddle a lot here (CA Bay Area).
If anyone knows of good used 9000 wheels or Saab part sources/wrecking yards, that would be useful as well.
