While tackling multiple issues simultaneously (suspension, engine upgrades, interior, steering, etc.) I finally found a set of Canisto wheels for my c70 in my limited price range. The problem with the Canistos is that they don't come with rubber. The lack of rubber is my biggest concern. I have no idea what size tires are supposed to be on these wheels.

Does anyone know what sized rubber I should be looking for? I'm going for stock sizing.

Someone was selling a set with 215 45/R17 tires, but Tirerack.com suggests that the car takes 225/45Z R17s, but I can't be positive what they think I have on the car...

Folks who've tracked my progress might recall that the car came with some really lousy peeling aftermarket rims.



Those are thankfully long-gone. Volvo wheel sets are in short supply in STL. After extensive searching, I ended up with 15" Cetus wheels on the car (which felt like rollerskates) for a few months. But I later upgraded to S80 Arakkis wheels.

I've been running with Arrakis wheels for about a year and a half now. The biggest issue with these Arrakis wheels is that the 225 50R17 tires rub against the strut tubes. A 5mm spacer got them away from the struts, but needing to do that at all and finding myself moving a few miles faster than my speedo says that the 225 50R17 tires are too large for a 70-series car.
