Hi guys I think we all agree that these 18”s might be a comfy choice but I would like to try some 20” s as I think the gap at the arches looks that could do with bigger alloys. If anyone wants to swap mine are in decent condition small scratches like two or three and very good tyres. I fancy the Jaguar F pace ones and some I pace a s well. Why the Volvo OEM s are so utterly expensive? Second hand but still a small fortune on ebay. Please moderators move the tread if has to go to buy or swap area. Thanks

If you put bigger rims, but keep the correct wheel size (ie bigger rims means smaller Tyre wall) the gap in the arches will still be the same……

Six months on and I'm still convinced that smaller alloys/larger tyres is the way forward. Much smoother ride, less pothole damage and cheaper tyres.
