I may buy a 2005 V70 D5 ocean race edition. Wil my 195/50/R15, on rims, fit on this car?

Probably not, 16" or above is the norm on P2's.

The 305mm brake discs would be too large for a 15" rim.

Most of the older D5's came with 296 (?, smaller than 305) discs. Not sure about the newer ones.
I have upgraded to 305 so bought a super cheap set of ex-plod Metis 16'' wheels for my winter tyres, which have been amazing in the last few days!
Best to try one of your 15'' before you make a decision as I doubt you'll get a definitive answer here, I'm sure the seller would oblige in the current economic climate!
Hope that helps.
