16inch or 17inch? S70

I am thinking of putting either 16 or 17 inch wheels on my 98 S70. I am specifically looking to put a wider tire on, and while currently I am running Potenza S-03 205/55/15, I was hoping for a little more traction from larger wheels/tires. Does anyone know how big you can really go with 16x6.5 stock Volvo rims? I imagine on the 17x7inch rims, 225/40 or 225/45 is about as big as possible. I am trying to avoid any rubbing on the inner wells. If anyone knows the answer, please let me know. Also, does anyone know a good place to find stock Volvo rims without the astronomical dealer price? Thanks for all of the help.
