any ideas on rim sizes that work with this car? it's lowered, too, which will factor into the equation, with factory springs and Nivos in the back.

what about offset? my Propus wheels work fine but I'm eyeing a new set of S60 rims that are 18x8. otherwise, I'll keep the Propus and buy new tires.

Because the "R" came with sport springs, I would keep the Propus wheels. The 18X8 wheels require a much smaller aspect ratio - a lower sidewall, which means that the bumps will be harsher than they are now. Besides, 18" tires cost more and will be wider, making snow traction worse.
