1997 850 Wheels on a 1999 S70 - I need spacer advice! S70 1999

I own a 1999 Volvo S70 GLT, which came stock with the Volvo Antlia 6.5x15 wheels with 195x60x15 tires. I am now running 1997 Volvo 850 Volans wheels, which are 17x7 with 205x45x17 tires. I have some rubbing on sharp turns, and wondered if anyone could provide guidance on the correct spacer size to purchase. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Sorry about the blank post..oops. Look at:

    There is no real difference in the circumference in your new tire wheel combo compared to stock. Is there something else going on? Did you lower the car? The offset on most Volvo rims is 43. What's the offset on the new rims? (stamped on the inside)

      No, the car has not been lowered (and won't be). There is definitely a different offset, as the wheel/tire combo has rubbed since I put them on. I will have to take off a wheel and try to determine the offset. Thanks for the info.
