From saabusa - models - 9-3 Coupe/Sedan - The Viggen - Control:
"In addition, the offset of the 9-3 Viggen's 7.5X17" wheels was extended from 42 to 49 mm, adding up to a 14 mm increase of wheel track."
I suppose its possible that they were using the base as the comparison, and that the SE has the same track as the Viggen. I just find that surprising, as the SE appears to have only a marginally more aggressive stance that the base, while the Viggen appears much wider - even wider that the extra width of the wheels would suggest unless the offset were also increased... or so I thought.
Can't really argue with BGibb's actual physical measurement though - that's basically the final say!
