Justin, lets talk about this FAQ. I also want to know the low down. My slant is on the Saab rims (mainly the 108MM BC for the 88+ and 9k's). According to the Tire Rack's database, the c900 has a 38mm offset. This is designed to give 0 scrub radius (I am assuming here as I have not measured this). If the offset is maintained, the scrub radius remains unchanged and the kickback is minimised (when you go over a pot hole or if the road has those truck grooves...). I have always felt that offset should be maintained with increasing width. What are your thoughts and experiences? I would like you and some of the other guys on the list to fill us in on the rest of the Saab rims (108MM BC). I was told that there are different offsets between the 9k and the c900. I have a set of Saab crossspoke (16x6.5) which were optional on the 9k and installed on my c900 from new. I measured the backset, calculated the offset and came up with 38. Do all of the 16x6.5 Saab rims have this same offset? What about the 15x6 rims which are everywhere on the 9k's. The 6.5's on my '92 only rub very slightly when it is loaded in the back. I find this acceptable though I loathe the looks of the pitted crossspokes and hate cleaning them.
