16" TSW Hockenheim with 245/45/16 tires?
well a guy on saabnet posted that he put these tires on and the fit but he had pretty much deserted the thread. I just sold my old set for about $500, thanks ebay. And I want to upgrade to this setup, anybody running this or have any input on this tire size working? its a 1999 9-3 yet to add springs and shocks but will.

They are 16 x 7.5 yes?
I would strongly recommend not going up to a 245 on a 7.5" wheel. 225 is ideal and 235 will fit, though they are starting to pinch the tires a bit. |

Do you know how much they weigh? I've been considering these as I want to stick with 16 inch but get something wider than 6.5...

They come off and are a piece of their own. Wouldnt be hard at all to take in and have painted to your exact color.

Hey, if you guys want to try it, I have the 17" TSW Avus-R wheels, and the stock Saab center caps fit in them (instead of the center lock thing). The lug cover was a little too "rice" for me, so I used the stock ones. All you have to do is cut 4 of the posts off the back of each cap (NOT the barbed ones-you need these to hold onto the rim). I'll post a pic if you want...
