I run 225/35/19 on 19" snowflakes without the lowering kitand it just fits. What tyre size your running? Also have you fitted spacers?

Still needs the backs pushing out further (don't all omegas??) Sweet.

Sweet.

When I ordered my Jade-R's they were made to fit the vehicle. (I understand that they are only made to order, but that may have been sales BS).
I had to give 'em offset and pcd so they were made to fit exactly.
You are able to have a choice of widths when you order.

Interesting - there had been some sets on ebay for Saab 9-5's at 8.5x18, in satin black too!

From what you are saying you could get a wider rear set up, say 8 front and 9 rear? Roll Eyes

Like I say - the 'specially made' bit may have been for my benefit only.
As SAAB's are front wheel drive they are probably not set up for Rear wheel Omegas (if previous comments about the Irmscher wheels being flogged off by Irmscher UK are anything to go by)

Yes the Jade-R is available as 8.5 and 9 so yes wider at the back is possible.

Seems you can get 'em for just about any vehicle though...................

do you find you have problems withth erear wheels only riding on the inside edge? My old omega had 17's with wide low profile tyres on it and it rode low, wasn't lowered just worn springs. after a few thousand miles, the outside edges of the tyres were like new and the inside was down to the canvas because of the camber. despite wide tyres it only ran on the inside 2" or so.
