I have 1998 V70 R AWD. As the roads in the area I live are far from perfection (including bumpy forest roads), nearly from the beginning I decided to change 205/45R17 tyres to 205/55R16 seeing (and feeling in my back) certain improvement. I am thinking about going one step further with winter tyres (205/65R15). I have heard that R15 rims from 850 and 960 (95- on) should be OK, but does anybody have any experience in that matter? I am afraid I may have some problems (eg with the brakes), perhaps there are also other obstacles? Thanks, Marek

You should be OK. I think walmart and canadian tire sell steel rims very cheaply. I think the brakes will clear, the only issue is with the bigger brakes installed on some cars. What size is the spare? It's probably 15 in, then you should be ok
