I put HUGE 225/60/15 tires on my 89 9kcdt with NO rubbing problems. Their diameter is considerably larger than 205/55/16. I also have 16" aero rims which I am going to use with 205/55/16 in the near future on my 91 9kcdt. If you check the Tire Size Calculator on this site (on 'Other Saab Sites' under 'Misc Info') you'll find that the 205/55/16s are a closer match to 205/60/15 or 195/65/15 (stock tires on most 9ks) than the 205/50/16. I drive slowly anyway so a few percent error on the speedo has not been a problem.
