suspension update and ? on wheels. what holds your brick to the road? 700

Ok...So on my 85' 765 turbo, i've installed the front disel springs, rear overloads in, kept my bilsteins, and threw on a set of IPD anti-swaybars and WOAH!!! performance and comfort. Man what a difference, I may have to cut the fronts a hair if the rear settles, as the car is level right after the initial installation of the rear springs. But no matter how good it gets, you always want more. Those stock 15 look too small in those massive wheel wells, hehe. anyway, i need more rubber on the ground and I read through the FAQ's about wheels and tires. I'm very aware of the closeness in the relation to the front strut to the tire. Basically im want to find out what you have on your brick. Wheel and tire size and offset. I dont want rubbing (if possible) and i cant loose much of the turning radius (that i love oh so much!) everyone has a different opinion so lemme know what you did and how it worked. Im thinkin of a 16x6 or 16x7 with a 20mm offset and a 50 series. Im in Los Angeles so rubberband tires(40-45 series) = bent wheels. did volvo make factory 16's that would fit my car? Tire brand ive got figured out, but the wheel thing is touchy. Id like to avoid using spacers at all costs. All the help is greatly appreciated!!! OH YA!
