Volvo: tire size, wheel wells, tight turn
Question185/70/14 standard 240 tire size. I have 15-7 Bertone rims and 195/60/15 tires now. What is your opinion of potential problems replacing them with 205/65/15? Handling issues? Rubbing in wheel well? I am not looking to alter the look, but tires might be little more than an inch taller?
AnswerJames,
The wheels should fit and the only draw back I can see is if in a tight turn the tires might scrap in the wheel wells. Second if they are so large and the car is weighted down they may rub on the fenders outer edge, mostly the rears. If you have the tires put them on and see how the clearance is.
