I have a 2000 V70R with 302mm rotors. The standard wheel size is 16" with 205/55/R16 tires. I am using Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires and am quite happy with them. I may upgrade to the Kumho Ecsta MX or Bridgestone Potenza S-02's on my next tire purchase. It is true that the 15" rims won't fit over the 302mm rotors (I looked into this for snow tires). Tire size on the optional 17" rims is 215/45/R17. There may be some differences between the 850 and V70 though. The main problem with tire/wheel width is the clearance between the tire and the front struts.
