I have a 2001 9-3 SE that I installed 9-5 Aero wheels & 225/45/17 tires on.
I really enjoy the way the tires perform, but I'm getting too much rub on the front tires. I don't notice it when driving, but I've managed to shred through the plastic wheel well liner up front.. can't be a good sign.
I've also been chewing through tires up front way faster than seems reasonable; I have to believe that the rubbing is at least partly to blame. I'm about 4k miles into a new set of Yokohamas, and the fronts are almost completely gone.
So, does anyone have any suggestions before I give up on the Aero wheels and go back to the ugly stock 16s? :) At least tires will be cheaper...
thanks,
graham
