You need more info than bolt circle. You also need offset (or backspace) and you need centerbore diameter. Saab 900 and 9000 has big centerbore of somewhere in the neighborhood of 65mm and so you need a wheel with a centerbore at least that big. You may also need different bolts because yet another variable is bolt seat angle.
Best bet is to look at ronal then look at Ford Focus offerings. As mentioned, any stock Saab 9000 wheel will also fit but be aware that the most populular 'aero' wheels don't have a great offset for 900 cars and you get rubbing because of it in SOME circumstances. This is an OFFSET problem, NOT a wheel width problem!
