Widest tire 9-5
I was wondering my 03 9-5 arc calls for the 215/55/r16. But can I go wider on stock suspension and what can I do size options? Any suggestions

235 is the widest recommended size for the 9-5. Check out this thread for more info: http://saabworld.net/showthread.php?t=27476

I read that but since I have 16in rims will the 235 still work?

No, 215 is the widest you should go on the stock 16" rims. It's not so much about the wheel diameter but the width of the rim. The 16" are 6.5" and the 17" are either 7" or 7.5".
