    The S60R but have a really poor turning circle then. I have a load of spacers here, but I'm not sure of the size/s, so I'll take a look in case you could use them.

    Thanks mate, would be appreciated. Yeah, as MRP puts it, the wheels on the S60R don't turn, they just lean in the direction you want to go.

    Lol, if MRP says that then it must be bad. You're welcome to whatever is here, cos I ain't using them. Please remind me if I don't get back to you, as my memory is poor.......at best.

    Mine has the factory optional, front: 225/40 ZR19, rear: 255/35 ZR19 and I find the ride fine. Driven ones with the standard front: 225/45 ZR18, rear: 255/40 ZR18 and it was more comfortable and handled better but for looks 19's look a lot better. Obviously 18's are a lot cheaper tyres to replace though so may be something to consider.

    But your's has 40 profile tyres on 225s, and 35 profile on 255s, so still a decent sidewall, 90mm on the front, and 89.25mm on the rear, mine at 235/35/18 has 82.25mm all round, if the OP is looking at 215/35/19 then he'll only have a 75.25mm sidewall.

    215/35/19 sounds a bit narrow for a 19" rim to me.

    The tyres on my 19's were 235/35/R19, but the chrome 'lip' scared me to death when parking near kerbs. Bloody beautiful wheels though..............

    You should see the lip on Mike's wheels, they look like the tyres are the euro look stretched ones.

    Attachment 24522Storm this might help..... My C70.






    235/35/19, no rubs, no harsher than 18"s - Probably could do with being lowered, I thought about going 235/40/19" as I think they'd fit fine.
