New S60 owner! Recent convert from 2004 S40. Just purchased '05 S60 2.4 model with factory 15" wheels. Want to put OEM Volvo Nebula Wheels in 18" with 235/40/18 tires. Anyone know if there will be any problems fitting due to the fact that this model doesn't have any of the sport suspension and such??
Tried to search for this on 2.4 and didn't find anything in the forum. Thanks for the help!! |

Sport suspension wont be a factor in fit. You will most likely have some rubbing on full lock turns. 17" one do so 18" will be even more likely to rub. Of course your ride will be altered as you will feel each bump, hole etc alot more with 18" wheel/tire when compared to the 15". Of course you'll look a lot cooler with the 18's.

I'd say don't do it. The car already doesn't have a killer turn radius, and with my 17" rims I experience rubbing of the tires in sharp turns. With 18" wheels you're going to experience more and either sacrifice tire life or turning radius. Although 18s would look killer I'd say it's too much to sacrifice. Look for some good 15s or 16s...

My 02 S60 with factory 17" wheels and 235/45/17 tires just barely rub in full lock! This has the factory sport package, and is AWD.
I bought some 16" wheels ,and mounted winter tires on them If I rememeber right they were 205/60/16's they did not rub! Just some numbers for you. Shawn |
