Rims for snow tires on s70 T5 SE
Hey all,
First post!
Have '98 T5, and looking to buy rims to have snow tires put on.
Have found a good price on Naiad 15" rims...but getting a bit of run-around on whether they'll be the best choice. Bolt pattern and PCD are the same as what's on the car now.
But there are 2 issues I'm hoping someone might have some input on.
1) the offset on the rims I have now is 43mm, and on the new ones it's 49mm. Problematic?
2) the manual says it recommends 15" rims for winter tires on the s70, but the guy at my local tire shop says his specs recommend the s70 turbo still needs a 16" rim (even for winter tires) because of the brakes being bigger. Any thoughts on this?
Any insights appreciated....
