Well, the front track is 30mm wider than the rear, but the problem factor is the offset (see my reply to your earlier post). Given that the front wheels are exactly the same as the back wheels, if one sticks out more or less, so will the others so I can't quite understand where the seller is coming from.
For correct suspension and steering geometry - and to avoid rubbing - the centre line of the wheel needs to be in the right place relative to the hub. Ronal/Saab wheels have this covered but if you go outside the family you have to make your own arrangements.
TSW will be able to tell you the offset and if you post this maybe someone who has fitted 7" rims will be able to advise. I think the standard offset with Aero 16" x 6½ wheels is 27mm, and with standard 6" rims it's 33mm, but don't take that as gospel.
Don't know the year of your car: the later bodyshell has more room for bigger tyres but the offset still has to be correct to avoid suspension/steering problems including accelerated wear.
