Is the size I like for a Saab 9-5 with 16s.
The idea that because the 16 inch size on a stock 9-5 was 215x55x16 and that therefore the 17 inch wheel should be 235x45x17, is the cart before the horse. The 225x45x17 is the closest thing to an ideal tire size for most 9-5s, and the best equivalent of this size in a 16 is a 205x55x16 and this size is available in a wide variety of models from a number of manufacturers, is available in Z form, and as an added bonus can be transferred to an NG 900 if you need spare wheels or tires for one of those.
I'm done with 215x55x16 tires, on stock 9-5 wheels. Looks dumb, just for starters.
