I only know about Saab wheels and "Normal" range tire sizes, with the exception of some 17s and I have no idea what Saab you have to fit. Best to ask someone else. Saab early models (prior to CS body) were tight on wheel and tire selections and rubbing on both inside and outside was a problem. The reason I don't get into this is offset stuff is in one wheel design it may rub the roll bar and may not in another design. It may fit different on one lip design and although the rim width is the same the fitment of various tires can be different. Toyos fit "Fat" and Pirellis fit narrow (and Michlins aren't round!) in the same size tire, it is pretty much a trial and fit once you start going beyond what Saab uses. Ronals are consistant, as are BBS and Enkis. My son was a Ferrari/BMW Botique tire/wheel dealer in Dallas, TX. for seven years and fitted a lot of Saabs with specials. He was always running into wheel/tire problems on Saabs even though his supplier swore they were ok and would fit. (I got a lot of good-new 205 - 50/55 Z take offs)
