Hi all, just put on a set of "winter wheels" as the comets are for sale and the bbs's are to nice to ruin over the winter!

Here's the question i think they are off a v70 and are 17's with 225/24/17 on them. They go on fine and don't catch or rub but it is tight in places. Am i going to have an issue? the suspension is standard and i have driven around for 50 miles (speed bumps etc) with no touching etc.......

How much is the speedo out as well???

only want them on for a couple of months or so what do you reacon?

Thanks for the help :)

i think the newer F*rd/Volvo's have a different 5 stud pattern. But 850's, C/V/S70's & S60's all fit each other

Use your Sat Nav or borrow one, to check your spedo to actual speed.

This little thingy tells you the difference between speeds for different tyre / wheel sizes ;)
