Thanks everyone, the dealer will be getting me the metis rims and tires this week. And after hearing about the speedometer being off I looked into it, and discussed the whole situation with another volvo dealer's service department. Yes the speedometer is off due to the 2.4T tires being on the car with no calibration (I tested this out with mile markers and a watch). So when I talked to the salesman and sales manager at the dealer I think I made them speechless when I pointed out all the wrong things they did to the car with their uninformed decision to just put the 2.4T tires on the car to save a buck (to get a car from the port and not do a dealer exchange for exactly what I wanted) thinking I would never know the difference. Also I informed the dealer I had already consulted VCNA and another volvo dealer's service department about it, neither approved of using the mimas wheels on a T5. Yes the steering stops are also a problem. At least I found out that there is a pretty knowledgeable and helpful service department out there, yes it is a little bit of a drive but if the current service department messes up the wheel swap, I will drive to this other dealer to have everything fixed.

Thanks for all the great information.
