Wheels compatible with a 2007 2.0T?

Hi all--
Just bought a 2007 9-3SS 2.0T 60th anniversary edition and I'm really happy to be a Saab owner again (after a 7 year hiatus from car ownership--!).
I'm planning to get a second set of rims for snow tires so I can drive up to Tahoe with snow chains--the 17" 60th anniversary wheels are explicitly not compatible with chains, per the owners manual. But the question is--what will work with my car?
I have done some searching on this board and have seen varied responses--some say you can only use 2003+ 9-3 wheels, others say you can use 9-5 and OG9-3 wheels, still others say you can't, some responses are specific to the Aero, etc. I have gleaned that the bolt pattern is the same for all these wheels, but perhaps the limiting factor is the offset?
So my questions are:
1. Can I use 15" wheels, or do I need to find a set of 16"s?
2. Can I use wheels from other 9-3 and 9-5 varieties, or only the 9-3SS?
3. Are there specific years that are compatible? (I've seen mention of 2003-2007 but not 2008+)
Thanks!
Tim B.
