They will nip at the fins of the oscar relentlessly. Best tank mate for p's is p's.

Yep. If you want a "community tank" that involves other species besides piranha then piranha's aren't what you're after.

Doesn't matter if the oscar has established dominance in the tank, the piranha will eventually get to the oscar and nip fins if not worse.

yah that why theres a but there, give a couple of days for the piranha to feel at home and that's it for the oscar
 
As long as you keep the rbps well fed and your tank is really really really big then I think it can work out.
