As far as I know, the only non-Saab OEM wheels that fit Saab 9000s are mid 80s Ford Mustangs and the offsets for these are way off.
The thing I would really watch as the wheel size goes up is the combined wheel and tire (tyre for Bill) weight. The wheels and tires are unsprung weight and even slight changes have a tendency to upset the damping.
I have adjustable Konis and until I settled on a wheel and tire combination I was forever adjusting the damping.
Eighteen inch wheels might benefit from some type of ultra light tire. Although the bane of low profile ultra light tires is potholes. Lots of flats and bent rims.
Good luck. I really enjoy tuning suspension.
