Does anyone have some pictures of the XC70 stance with the 235 tires? Thanks

A while back, forum member Gibbons posted side-by-side pics of his 235s and some stock 215s from another XC as seen in the link below.

Wow Art, I almost forgot about that post! I hope it helps whoever is wondering about the difference.

Hey Art,

Does the car feel sloppy under cornering/cross wind with that tire?

I'm up for new tires and was thinking of the 225 size.

Does look good thou.

that looks good but I want something even wider... When I look at the body lines of the volvo, I envision just a mean and wide stance following the natural body curves from the doors on down...

Might have to get a custom offset to make it all work... Luckily, Fikse is local [cool2]

Here's 245/40/19 on 19x8.5 wheels.

The photos above are stock ride height, just larger wheels+tires.

Below is with coilover suspension kit adjusted with a 2.5" drop. :D

What's the offset on your Enkeis?

Anyone ever try to run 255/55/16? It's the same diameter as the stock... I think that'd look pretty nice.

If I want to have (almost) the same look as the 235 there, on 17" wheels, what is the tire size I should buy?

The new model XC70 uses 235 60 17 tyres, they should fit our car also but they are a bit bigger diameter than the stock 215 65 16...... 235 55 17 are the stock size.
