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.

JABM · 03-15-2005, 08:17 AM

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.

jrbrangi · 03-15-2005, 08:24 AM

yea they are TSW HOCKENHEIM R 16X7.5, 5-110, OFFSET 35

JABM · 03-15-2005, 08:31 AM

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...

mike saunders · 03-15-2005, 08:57 AM

This guy on Saabcentral, Marks900se, has 17" Hockenheims..

I have a set of the 16" tsw hock r's on my 99 9-3 right now but I will be selling them soon.They have a little curb rash but not bad.The tires are kumho ecsta supra 712.I will be putting on some bbs rk's so if any of you are interested they will be for sale sometime before summer.

jrbrangi · 03-15-2005, 10:31 AM

im gonna call and check on the weight before I oreder

jrbrangi · 03-15-2005, 10:53 AM

got any pics of them on the car, and tire size? I'm gonna buy new though just curious to see them on the car. I am probably gonna stick with the kumho 712's they have been good for me so far.

a12 · 03-15-2005, 12:25 PM

I think my car on cardomain shows them.They weigh 19 lbs I think.

JABM · 03-15-2005, 12:57 PM

jrbrangi · 03-15-2005, 04:51 PM

Marks9-3 · 03-15-2005, 06:29 PM

Theres a set of 17" Hock R's with the same Kuhmo Estra 712's with 225/45R17

mike saunders · 03-15-2005, 06:44 PM

Nice pic!....

I'm definitely shedding my Viggen wheels and picking up those. I love that BBS-inspired styling....

jrbrangi · 03-15-2005, 07:07 PM

ive seen them with a blue center cap instead of red, hoping i can get them to match my car

Marks9-3 · 03-16-2005, 09:12 AM

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.

jrbrangi · 03-16-2005, 10:25 AM

I called up and they had the blue caps, so I'll order next week

DC_SAAB · 03-16-2005, 11:56 AM

Not bad.., I switched my BBS's out over the winter, and running some 17" ASA's a BBS affiliate, with the same BBS look finished in various styles from $119 to $279.

Mine were 349 shipped to my door

Hey, Im down at U of MD now. I met someone here who also has some stuff done....we should meet up sometime.

swedishassassin · 03-16-2005, 06:06 PM

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...
