The biggest tire on a 16" wheel? SMH Each wheel has a proper tire size. Any other size will be improper and will likely cause problems. Throwing your speedometer off, affecting handling, causing rubbing, etc.

Well RSPI-- I'm not a moron in fact I build modified jeeps so I get that! But thanks for nothing! Idk if my speedo/odometer is off and with every size wheel within reason u have a little play room and can go up and down slightly in tire size! And I wanted to know cuz I needed to buy some used wheels/tires just to get me by for a short period of time and the wheels ant tires that fit my Volvo are pretty limited! So once again Cpt. Obvious thanks for nothing!

+1 the size to 225/50/r16 (stock rim offset)

they fit. go any bigger and you will begin rubbing, you could trim, but it would be better to change the off set.
