I'd go to a tire shop, and with promise of buying a set of new tires, ask if they'll throw a used tire of that size on so you can check fitment. I expect your issues are going to be hard cornering, so you need to check it with the front wheels in various steering positions.

My guess is that you'll be fine 98% of the time, but full lock turns over bumps might cause issue

I also take issue with the folks selling them and saying they are for PV models, but then saying that 195-65 won't work? What do they expect you to run to screw up your speedometer? 195-65 is an absolutely ideal size for a 5.5" wide, 15" wheel for a vintage Volvo.

So I don't get what they're trying to do...

Nice looking wheels!
