Hi. I'm a noob here, but not to Volvos. I have a 2000 XC that came with the disc wheels. I thought I'd like the change but after six years of those suckers I want to go back to five spoke. I got a great deal on a set of 17" cup style five spokes. I had read on the net that they were OK to use but when making the switch to ensure that the OD remained the same. It currently has 205x65R15, do you have any recommendations? Thanks.

I think it will be the best to keep the same.

I'm not sure of the wheel width for the 17s you have, but you'll probably need to go to 215/50/17s to ensure you get the right circumference. That way you won't mess up your OD.
