changing tire/wheel size on a V70 V70-XC70 1998

The air in your tires makes 80% of the car's suspension. The remaining 20% is handled by the springs. So with larger rims and less "air" your car will handle differently. If you want a stiffer ride then 16 inch rims are the way to go. I would keep your original 15's for when you decide to sell the car. Original equipment will always retain more value.
