Saab 9000 is 4x98 or 108 fitment as they shared parts with Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia

saab 5 stud are 5x110 as you can stick them on 5 stud vauxhalls

The ebay link you posted was for the old 9000 (which was 4 stud), only later Saabs were 5 stud and not all were 5x110.


I owned a 9000, an have only just sold my 9-3, both 5x110,   :cool:

Not all 9000's had 5 stud wheels, most were 4 stud (worth remembering they were built and designed a long time before Vauxhall came on board)

Saab 900 (1988...1992): 4 x 108
Saab 900 (nuo 1992 m.): 5 x 110
Saab 9000: 4 x 108
Saab 9-3: 5 x 110
Saab 9-5: 5 x 110
900 87 to 93: 4x108
900 / 9-3 87 to 93: 4x108
9000 87 to 98: 4x108

New Alfa Romeos (Bera, 159 and 166 have also gone over to 5x110 as well)

You are quite right my good sir, I do apologise, mine was 5x110, as i switched wheels occasionally,

Well looking at that list all 5 stud saabs are 5x110 so I will make sure I get the 5 stud ones. Bloke round the corner from me has them wheels on some huge Saab turbo thing he has and they are 5 stud. Same as the ones in that gumtree add they are also 5 stud so they must do them.

i see what you mean wayne, had a lil google myself & 5x110 for a 9000 is not listed, i wonder if my running gear was changed when abbott racing did some some work to it before i bought it, i assuemed this was the norm as i rarely did any work to it, it went back to abbots in manningtree....

God i miss that car, i could pull 4-5 car lengths on an R32 on the motorway, useless in the twisties, but did she pull...... :grin:
