    Oh bugger! I was just going to put 235/45s on my Nebs to try and improve the ride on the ££££e country lanes around where I live. Is the rubbing that bad? Is your car lowered?

    Keep the Nebs

    They may be difficult to clean but they look great on your car.

    They would look the business, but I think they'll be more trouble than they're worth tbh.
    I was looking into them for the 850 and p2, but hassle all round, lua the pain of finding a spare when they do bend and my spine would turn to dust

    Iancho had 19's I believe. I think they would look great.

    i soon got fed up of the 19's the Messerschmitt came with. Because of the low profile tyres (215/35/19) the outer edge of several of the rims had bent out from hitting potholes, they didn't buckle but after only a month or 2 they started letting air out & had to blown up every week. They did look nice but not worth the hassle

    I run 19" peg reps on my P2 V70 through summer, do about 12-15k a year on them, after all comments I thought the ride might be a bit harsh but in actual fact ride isn't that much different to 17s that were on
    Ex Police V70 T5 SE now scrapped.

    2004 C70 2.4T GT, modifications front strut brace, 19" Peg reps with white lettered tires.

    They rub really badly on full lock, they've basically eaten the wheel arch liners lol, I'm using 5mm spacers too

    19" is a bit big for a P80 - and, over here at least, getting tyres with a short enough sidewall would be a pain.
