Its been so long since I purchased the rims, just went out to get the tire size to calculate the total diameter to see if the 25.5 rims your talking about would even work. Looks like I bought 20" with the 30 series not the 22.
But a little fun fact about the 2010 9-3. People I talk to that own the car are finding the speedo meter is off when compared to a gps. When the car reads 70 mph the vehicles is actually doing 67mph my 9-3 also dose this. Which only tells me its off from factory and instead of dealing with the computer I took the issue into account when purchasing tires.
The oem saab wheels diameter (rim and tire)are 25.3" purchasing the 22 with 20 series put the diameter at 25.7" which I suspect would of corrected the slow reading speedo issue. But being the smallest tire I could find readily available was the 30 series I calculated a rim to fall in the 25.3 diameter area. Which lead to the 20" 235/30 20r come out to 25.6 diameter. .3" above oem perfect to correct the slow speedo. Even with this size at 70 the gps reads 69mph close but not exact. With your idea of 25.5 would make it even read slower still. :)
Heres a pic of a bubble car. their real cars I also supplied a link to more if your wanting to buy one seems their getting quite popular. The one in the pic looks real close to what my 9-3 stalker has except his is white.
