Hi all,

I've just got a new set of wheels ... Some Super Incas. I've popped them on
the car this evening and they seem to be fine.
<http://www.saabphotos.com/gallery/Super-Inca-Alloy-Wheels>

They came with 185/65 R15 ratio tyres and the wheel ratio is 15x5.5J ET40.
Can this wheel stand a 195/60 R15 ratio tyre? My other wheels are 15x6J ET33
Directional Aeros and run that tyre ratio quite happily.

Next question ... When I get them refurbished, what to you guys think to
getting them painted white? Like this:

yes, infact 5.5J alloys with 195/60 were standard on the T16S.

That's good to hear. When I get those wheels refurbished, I'll pop on some
195/60s. Thanks.
