what was wrong with the 17" wheels on the new v70 t5? the new structure is a lot stiffer, the wheel wells are larger, and the tires are a bit thicker, at 235-45-17. so none of the harshness compared to the older 850/70 platform. and, u definitely will feel the difference in grip compared to 215-55-16.

anyway, there would be some difference in the speedometer. in any case, u should the proper difference in money if they cannot supply u with the t5 16" rims with 215-55-16. u want to start off on the right foot with a new car.
