I think they're about as close as two makes get without fitting exactly, they're only off ~1mm at the bolt holes. Still, they don't technically 'fit' although you could probably get them tightened without really noticing they don't fit. This would stress the bolts alot. The Saab is 5x110 and the Volvo is 5x108. Hubs are both 65mm. As Dean pointed out, there's also offset issues.
There are bolts and stuff that allow you to 'get past' small differences but they only seem to be available in Europe (where 5x110 is more popular because it's also the standard Vauxhall/Opel fittment)...plus I think that's the crowd that's more interested in how good the wheels look versus having something that fits perfectly.
