I think they're a better fit, for most uses of these wagons.
Personally, I think the 235 needs a wheel that's a half inch wider than the one Saab provides - otherwise you have more tire than the wheel wants or needs. Having tried both sizes on those ten spoke Polish made wheels, these typical Continental 235s are just an oversized bumbling mess on there. A General AS-05 in 225/45 looks better, crisper handling. The stock chassis just can't accomplish anything with the added potential grip of 235s.
