Hey Marco,
I have a 95' Aero with Engstom's adapters and 9-5 Aero wheels. The tires I use are 215/45/ZR17. I have zero issues with rub, or ride comfort, but then again I haven't installed the H&R springs Bo sent me yet. Like Phil has said, this is the best aspect ratio to run if you want to keep your speedo close. I also tried 225/45 and this worked fine, just ttoo much tire when you want to lower the car. I also have BBS RKII's on my 9-3 with Eibach springs,215/45/ZR17. Again no problems with ride or rub. I haven't tried yet, but I don't think that the RKII's will clear the fenders on the 9000 with the adapters due to the extra width of the adapter plate and the fact that the RK's are 8 or 8.5 inches wide.If I try this, I will be sure to post a pic. Below is a link to saabpics nailed. I found a picture of my 9-3SE on there from last years SOC. That's me sweating my ass off for 2nd place!
