16" wheels on Viggen/center cap fyi Posted by Frank [Email] (#2509) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Frank) on Mon, 12 Mar 2001 22:34:13 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I posted a while back about bent rim problems and someone suggested 16" wheels. I've found a 225/50-16 tire with almost identical diameter and revolutions/mile to the 215/45-17 tires that came on the car. Aesthetics aside, would the 16" wheels be an acceptable fit and how much would the slightly higher profile tires affect handling?
BTW, I noticed in the Saab Catalog that the Saab center caps are sold separately with a 16" BBS wheel. I'm thinking these might fit any BBS wheel, if not other manufacturers. The Moda R1 with those caps, for instance, would be a cheaper alternative to the highway robbery offered by Saab on the standard wheel! Here's the link if anyone's interested:

If that link doesn't work, go to the catalog website, then to the "Wheels" section and click the "Seven spoke 6.5 x 16" wheel".
