Maximum Wheel Size for S40 2006 2.4.

Hi all - I am looking for a set of wheels for my volvo s40 2006 2.4. I was thinking to buy the Volvo Medusa wheels 7.5 x 18" with tires 235/40/R18. Do you think this size fits the car? Volvo dealer recommends 215/45/R18 but I want something a little bit bigger. Any comments? Have you tried a bigger size without rubbing the inner fender.

Thanks

The dealer is right unless you want to do a little work. If you roll them out and run a small spacer 235 is doable.

Thanks for the answer! So... Without doing this extra work, which is the maximum size this Volvo can support?

Which rim? They all have slightly different offsets

Medusa 18" x 7.5. That's all I know. I bought them on a Volvo dealer, new, OEM. You can see these wheels online at Volvo S40 Accessories

Is this what you need?

Thanks

225 is really gonna be about it on a 7.x5 Medusa.
