Just a word about the: 1991-83 SAAB - 900 wheels.

I tried some Carroll Shelby alloys (very close to a Panasport look) from a 87
Saab 900.  The offset was too much for my TR6...beyond any spacer of
reasonable thickness.  Sold them to a guy with a MGA and they were just
right.

  Also note that 115mm is a fairly common 4-bolt circle, and is NOT
  interchangable with 4.5" (114.3mm).  The wheels may appear to fit, but
  you'll have problems down the road with self-loosening lug nuts, breaking
  studs, elongated holes, etc.
