Re: OG9-3 wheels on 9-5 Posted by Snowmobile [Email] (#686) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Snowmobile) on Mon, 21 May 2012 10:56:33 In Reply to: OG9-3 wheels on 9-5, AeroEd, Mon, 21 May 2012 09:57:10 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I would think it is a non-issue. Did the 2006+ change mechanically in the fender area? 2005 + prior were 17"x7" wheels or 16x6.5"... I have seen 2006+ cars using the older wheels, and certainly there are wheels that were marketed for the 9-5 and the 9-3ss.
My car has 17" wheels that were stock from the 2002 og9-3SE. I am getting 16" wheels for winter, most likely off a 9-3ss and used 9-3ss steel wheels last winter. og9-3 and older 9-5 wheels were completely compatible.
In a nutshell, afaik, as long as you stay 16"+ (to clear the brakes) I don't think the offset is a big issue.
does anyone know if any of the 16" saab oem wheels won't clear aero brakes?
