Given all the discussion about Saab wheels, I checked the local Buy and Sell and found a set for sale 20 minutes away. I picked up a set of Ronal Saab 'minilite' 8 spoke alloys for $300 Cad on Sunday. They look great. The owner gave me the receipt that he had when he purchased them in 89 - $1200!
They are 15X5.5. I need to get the MG center caps and figure out the spacing.
The price is alot better than the $300 per wheel for minilites from a Brit car shop! (and no tax! - saves 14.5%)
It sounds like I will need to get spacers given the discussion on the previous posts.
What will the wheels foul on if they are not spaced? Inboard or outboard rubbing?
Will there be any adverse handling characteristics?
Also, with 5.5 inch wheels, I should be able to run 205's, correct?
I will need to keep the same diameter for the overall wheel/tire combo.
