Wheel size is 15" and the bolt pattern is 4x114.3 ('japanese' bolt pattern), hub center bore of 67,06mm with an offset of ET43.

Winter tyre size for 2000-and-later S/V40's is indeed 195/55R15 (using a set of Dunlop M2's on my V40 in that exact dimension).

The older ones had the 185/65 specified. But the information for your car should be in your owners manual.

Doesn't matter that much. It can probably be argued that the 185's will do better in heavy snow as there will be a higher pressure per squre inch on the road from the smaller contact patch.

Bye, Arno.
