The P2 (Volvo slang for second generation) Volvo R (Volvo slang for performance model) cars have 302mm brakes. Given that, is it possible to put a sixteen inch wheel onto an R car?
“You cannot fit any 16 inch wheel to a P2 R but there are few inexpensive 17 inch aftermarket that fit. If you’re concerned with a wide snow tire Volvo recommends going with a 225/45/17 instead of a 235/45. Enkei used to make a very good looking cheap wheel. Mak aftermarket 17 inch wheels need 5mm spacers to clear the calipers.”

Since we’re on the subject of wheels and tires, please consider buying your wheels and tires from Tire Rack using any links on MVS, like this Tire Rack Promotions page, to help keep this site on the ‘Net. Thanks! Matt.
