I just picked up a 2011 V50 T5, and I'm loving it. I moved over from an '01 S80 so the difference is night and day.

However, the car came with after market black rims and Pirelli tires. 1) I don't like black rims and 2) I don't like Pirellis - they ride rough and loud, so I'm thinking of hitting the junkyards to get some original wheels, but I can only find S80s.

Here's the question...

S80s are spec'd at 7x17 ET52.5 wheels that take 225/50 R17 tires. The V50 takes 7.5x17 ET49 wheels and 205/50 R17 tires.

Will 7.5x17's with 225/50s fit on the V50 or will it be too cramped in the wheel well?
