I think the 225/20x22 comes out to about 25.5" total diameter, so the overall height is about a 1/2" more than stock, assuming a 205/55x16, that works on many Saabs and adds up to about 24.9". The 18" size is about 25.1". Not enough to worry much about, but the speedo would be slightly low.
I assume you know 20 series is a "rubber band" tire and that the ride will be a LOT firmer than with a more conventional profile. Handling will be quicker due to the very low sidewall, but not necessarily better, especially on uneven surfaces.
