Re: aftermarket rims with 49mm offset Posted by Mark in Marine [Email] (#1837) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Mark in Marine) on Tue, 9 Nov 2010 19:55:58 In Reply to: aftermarket rims with 49mm offset, Aero'ed, Tue, 9 Nov 2010 17:57:39 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I ended up buying a set of Borbet alloy wheels (16" with 40mm offset) for the 1999 9-5 SE that my daughters mostly drive. Tire wear and handling aren't noticeably different from the oem wheels -- I had the tire shop remount the Michelin all seasons onto the Borbet rims and put Nokian Hakka Rs snows onto the SAAB rims. So we had a nearly back-to-back comparison between the same tires on two sets of wheels. I worried about not being exactly stock, but those fears didn't materialize. Did this over a year ago. Hope you have similar success.
