9-3 SS wheels on OG9-3 Posted by MJM [Email] (#872) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MJM) on Sun, 6 Apr 2014 18:36:17 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Found that I'd bent a couple of the stock "ALU22" 5-spoke wheels on my '01 9-3 SE last year. Dithered a bit on whether to replace the two bent ones or not, but never really cared for the style. Ended up purchasing a set of the "5-spoke flared" wheels, p/n 32026150, which originally came on one of the 9-3 SS models, perhaps the '10 Wagon.
Got the wheels new off ebay for $80 each from Saab NA, new; caps were another ~$55. Wheels are 16x6.5x41ET, whereas the ALU22's are 16x6.5x49ET. Load rating is 600kg for the new ones vs. 575kg for the ALU22's. The 8mm offset isn't a problem and pushes the wheel just a little bit further out, not a bad thing aesthetically, IMO.
Primary purpose of this post is to archive the info. I searched all the Saab boards I knew of and only found a couple pics of OG900/OG9-3's with 9-3SS wheels, and some minor misinformation that the 9-3 SS wheels wouldn't physically fit, were the wrong offset, weren't the right load rating, etc.
