Finally got my saab alloys, from ebay (took there time though!)
The offset on the rims is et33, sorry I am not that great with offset will I need spacers?
Thanks Robin
(Apologies as this is like the 4 thread I have posted about saab rims on a sierra)

listen for any rubbing (coming from the arches not their thighs)

Must say I've got some 205/50/15 Nankangs on 6.5J15 alloys, which came off my old 2.0i Ghia, and they grip like hell! Not sure which type of Nankang tyre they are, but it's a directional tread pattern. you can never have too many fat lasses. LOL! ;D |

I have to say there isn't a lot of margin for error in a Sierra wheelarch if mine is anything to go by. My 16X7s are milimeters from the struts on the inside and my 15X7 lattice Sapphire alloys are even worse. Here are the 16s filling up the arches:  Charlie |
