Tires S70 1998

I have a 1998 S70 GLT with factory size 195/60/15 tires. Has anyone changed the tire size to the 205/60/15 and noticed improved handling? I would like to keep the original rims. Am also concerned about wheel well clearance. Appreciate any comments and suggestions!

    You will be happier with 205/55/16's. The 60 is too large and hits things at full lock. I installed ContiExtremes and am happy. Go to Discount tire, our local franchise is very good.
