Hello, everyone. I have a 2005 S60 2.5 model volvo and needing some adivice whether I should put 18' rims 235/40/18 from my current 195/65/15. I don't know anything about rims and if this rims will fit on my 05' S60. My 15's are too small for me especially coming from 2008 Acadia. My wife and I switched cars. I would like to get a bigger tire that will look good but not too much "ghetto" look. I saw some 18' rims for sale and getting a lot of persuasion to get 17' rims instead because of rough ride and rub and so on 18's. Can you guys give me some advise? If i bought the 18' rims-called Ronal R41 18x8, is this a good rims to have and will have peace of mind when it gets installed?

You can do 18's on an S60 but there will be rub on full lock and the ride will be significantly rougher. I went from 16's to 17's on my S60 and the ride is rougher but the look was better so I was willing to sacrifice some of the ride.
