Another Multi X Question 700

These Bertone Multi X rims I just purchased are 15"x7" and I cannot find anything in the FAQ regarding the widest tire I can fit properly on a stock ride height 740.

I am thinking a set of 205/55R15 tires would fit. These would be about 24" in OD and about 8" in width. Will this rub under most circumstances? I believe the offset is 25mm on the Multi X rims and they are one inch wider than most Volvo rims.

The car is a base model 740 from 1990, if that matters, and will have a set of new, stock height springs on it when these wheels are mounted. (The current ones are 24 years old and a bit tires, heh, heh, heh...)

Any suggestions, here?
