i have done a little research,rung a few wreckers and found out that in the mid to late 80's that most saabs were fitted with a 15inch 4stud multipattern chaser lookalike wheel as there stock rim and had a hubcap over the top and they have the 4x100 pattern,so all you need to do is give them a coat of silver paint and bolt them(i have just put some on my gem)you can pick up a set with good tyres for around $100-$150

Any issues with offset ?
eg; Lancer rims scrub the shock while wheels are jacked up.

my gem van has been striped down so it sits up pritty high and at the moment theres no prob with rubbing on the panel but the shocks and sway bars have been taken off(so new better ones can be fitted)so iám not sure if they rub or not but i have seen a te gemini going around in gosford with the same wheels and it looked fine

if they rub on the shockers, put 5mm spacers in that should fix the problem. I've had 2 sets of camiras with 195 tires and have both had this problem, they are okay with the spacers in.

i had 14inch lancer rims on mine and they didnt hit the shokie when it was jacked up. i had 185s on the front but could have fitted 195 without hitting the shokie easy. but as gene said doesnt matter if they scrap when its jacked up

unless you actually like to go quick round corners, take some load of the inside wheel, the tyre comes up and hits the shockie.... not something I want to experience while driving that quick

Do u have any franchises in the Gold Coast/Brizzie area that you could deliver to ? I may have a word to the post dudes to suss out what the costs would be to have them sent up. I really want these rims if they are a perf fit.
