Wheel/tire combination 850 1997

Sorry Tank. All I can really say is to use 195mm tires
with the 7" rims then. This is what tire rack recommends and tests
the fitment. It must be so tight of a fit that the 205's throw it off.
I think this is probably the case because discount tire might be more
conservative and most of the rims they offer for the 850 are 6.5's
and have higher offsets.

I guess I am just glad that they seem to work for me.

The rims are relatively inexpensive and are a whole lot easier to keep clean than the wheel covers, they look sort of like OEM volvo rims, don't show too
much brake but offers better cooling. Biggest thing is that it
makes it much easier to check the inflation pressures and keep
brake dust off your hands before work
