1997 900SE talladega vert.
please dont mind my lack of bumpers.. i painted my viggen kit and will be getting fitted in the next few days.
i got my vert i wanna put my wheels on it. i have a set of Antera type 109s. pretty rare 3 spoke wheels back from the 90s. i figured they would look real good on the saab because most saab wheels are 3 spoke anyway.
the wheels are 17x8.5 et32... they are 5x114 therefore i do have adapters to bolt to saabs 5x110. adapters are an inch so thats i believe 25.4mm
if i have my math correct that puts me at an et7 on an 8.5 wheel.
i did a test fit yesterday and i absolutely LOVE how it looks ill post a pic but now my question is should i bite my tongue and stay at stock height with the same size tires i have now (225/45/17) or should i go with a tad bit of stretch and get lowering springs.? i think its the vogtlands paired with koni struts everyone uses.
what does everyone think..? these definatly are the wheels that will be used so i just need to decide how to have the car sit.
any positive input is greatly appreciated.!
