A little off topic, I know, but please share your opinion/experience ASAP.
I found a nice set of Volvo `Hydra` rims with new winter tires mounted on them. BUT,
I am hesitating on buying because I am not exactly sure how/IF they fit on the car.
1986 740 Wagon, currently on 1
85/65 R
15 (front) and 1
95/65 R
15 (rear),
Draco rims ( 6
.0 width) with Firestones.
The wheels I`m about to buy:
Volvo HYDRA
16inch diameter rims (6
.5 width)
with four 205/55 R16 tires on them.
Also, extra four 225/55 R16 tires available from same owner.
Do you think they can be a great fit without any problems? How about those 225`s? Will they fit? At least on rear wheels without any trouble?
(My previous 760s had 205 in rear with no issues but, as I recall it, only 195 in front... so I never had a chance to see if the 205 or the 225 would fit at all. )
Other (dis)advantages you imagine? like mpg decrease, speedo misbehaving, etc?
Does the rim width difference of .5 really matter at all?
``To buy or not to buy``, this is the question. Thanks for your help. In the meantime I`m reading TB for info.
