Getting back on whether the 195/60-15s fit on a stock 4-1/2" rim:
According to Bud Clark's latest email, and also confirmed by Scott in the previous post, they do indeed fit with no rubbing, at least on the V4s. Bud says that there might be some rubbing on the Sonett IIIs, but the problem can be fixed (he didn't say how). He also said, that this tire is the same diameter as the original 155-R15 Pirelli that came stock on the car, but is twice as wide - more footprint.
I haven't bought new tires yet - I actually "borrowed" the 185/70-15 Pirelli P3s off of my Healy for the last Saab club event, and I have to say, they DO rub on severe bumps. So, I recommend that folks stay away from this size (I think they're ~26" dia.) unless your suspension has been beefed-up - mine hasn't, yet.
