225/45/17's to a T-5R? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be kevin on  Wed Aug 14 17:48 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi, I'm pretty set on up-sizing my tires to at least 215/45/17's but I would really like to get 225's since they would fit the rim width and provide better grip on take off. I am aware of the possible rubbing problem that this could cause under heavy load and tight cornering, but I am not really concerned with that because I will be using them mostly at the track and not for daily driving. The problem is that there isn't much room in the wheel well for bigger tires. Does anyone know if these tires will even fit inside the wheel well? Thanks for reading.

Volvo always makes me laugh:1995 850 T-5R
240 HP
240 lb/ft. torque
0-60: 6.2 sec
1/4 mile: 14.8 sec
17" wheels...
Front wheel drive/ no manual, no limited slip? WTF!

But all is well.. The "R" is coming back 300HP+6 speed+twin intercoolers+AWD= first TRUE Volvo high performance car. I just might sell my soul to buy an S60 R!
