Rear tire size alternative ...

Any other size then 245-45-16 is good for the rear on 89 930 on stock wheels

Unfortunately there isn't anything wider in a street tire available.

245 seems very narrow for a turbo, I'm running 245's on my SC.

245 was the stock size. The 255/50/16 mentioned above is 1.5” taller (26.1” vs 24.6”) and about .750” wider than the 245/45/16. A good size would be 275/40/16, wishful thinking.

Is there a Fuchs wheel with the correct offset for a 275/40/16 tire......that would be a perfect wide load for the rear of 930....no spacer needed!!
