   I know for a fact that the SAAB 99 and SOME 900's have 4 bolt 
patterns.  I'm looking at my '80 99GLi and see 4 lug nuts.  If I still 
had my acessories catalog, I could tell you for sure, but so can the 
Tire Rack.  They have a website with virtually every car (that has been 
imported to the U.S.) listed as to bolt pattern, offset, and o.e.m. tire 
sizes, plus one and sometimes two fittments.  Doesn't help for brake 
clearance though. I suppose a quick check of disk diameter would help, 
but the SAAB tended to have funkey calipers.
