205/50R16 is closer (than 205/55R16) to the 195/50R15 stock on the SPG, but not bang on: it is still 0.6% smaller. Probably a good one to use.
On the more pedestrian saabs the stock size was 185/65R15 so 205 series R16 splits evenly around this with 1.7% error on both the 55 + 50. Otoh, 195/55R16 is essentially bang on the stock size, and 215/50R16 is also. But I suspect 215 is just too wide on a c900, especially if lowered at all?
Anyway, I gather not many people move up to 16" rims on the c900 and stick with the 195 width? maybe the benefits are minimal vs 195 series on 15" rims?
