You gotta go with lower profile rubber to make the 17's fit in your 9-3. Figure max of 45 and perhaps a 40. 215x40 R17 to be exact.
Saab rims are notoriously soft. If you live in a pothole prone area, LOOK OUT. If you think you're going deep now, try hitting a big pothole or something in the road at speed. You're just gonna buy those rims all over again.
Your ride will be much tighter and the car will respond impressively but you do need to be aware of the risks when you have less rubber between rim and road. If you live in the North East of the country, I wouldn't.
Good luck.
