tire size recommendation for 240 turbo rims 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be ugly duckling on  Fri Nov 1 18:32 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have a set of stock turbo rims that I bought for only $60! Can you believe that? The person I bought it from was selling an 83 244 Turbo for a really cheap price if I recall. I called him up but only to find out that it was in non-running condition. However, the body was in good shape. I asked if I could buy the rims. And he gives me this figure, and I'm like wow! I better get them before he changes his mind or someone else offers him a better deal! I see them go for around $300 or more. I love finding a good bargain! Gotta love the classic yet almost modern look of those rims!

Anyway, I think after purchasing my lovely 245 and doing all the necessary preventive maintenance services on it, I'm ready to have some fun in the looks department. I saw some 240s (turbo and non-turbo) with turbo rims at this Volvo shop and looked at the tire sizes on them. On one, I saw 195/60/15 and on the other I saw 195/65/15. What was the original tire size for turbo rims that Volvo used? Should I stick to the original spec or go for something like 205/6x/15 or 215/6x/15? Thanks!
