New sizing considerations S90-V90 1997

215/60 is going to be a bit tall for the car. They'll probably feel fine going down the road, but likely the speedo will read a little low. Especially important, it can confuse the ABS system a bit, though it may still work correctly in 99% of conditions. I would look for a tire closer to the correct rolling diameter- maybe 215/55 or 215/50. A good shop like The Tire Rack can advise you on diameter changes and the implications of that.
I think with a tall tire you will run into clearance problems at the bottom of the strut spring mount, the front sway bar (at extreme steering angles) and possible clearance to the rear fenders both inboard and outboard.
