I think it is the Viggen 5 door that they had to re-engineer, bend, move, pound out of the way, (take your pick) a panel in the rear wheel well in order for the tires/wheel to fit and not rub.
Your tire size choice will also be a factor. A wider tread may end up rubbing as well. I once put Saab's accessory wheels mean for a 9-5 on a 9-3. They were BBS, but the tire was bigger (can't remember the sizes). But when I would back out of the driveway and turn the wheel all the way to the right, the tire would rub on the inner fender well.
