The 215-55-16s will rub. I used some 205-55-16's on my 1994 900 SE and they rubbed through the plastic inner fender liner on full lock turns. The factory size tire for the 16's were 205-50-16. I just bought some Goodyear Eagle F-1 GS-D3's for my 2000 9-3 SE for 51.00 a tire from TireRack back in January. I already have 3k on them and love them.
There was a tech bulletin for filing off some plastic wheel liner nuts on these cars to fit the 17" Viggen wheels and 45 series tires, but you may have other clearance problems as I did ON MY 94-900.
