I trial fitted the 1999 version wheel from an S80 and the inner rim only cleared the front strut by about 1/16th of an inch. Any deflection in corners or a small camber change during alignment would cause rubbing.

You would need to add spacers to use them. I opted to abandon the conversion. A set of Michelin Pilot Sports more than compensates for any gain from width with a lesser tire. They are a little harsh, definitely noisy, but they stick like glue!

Sorry!
