Hi
i currently have 215/55R16 tires on 16X7 rims as they came from the factory.
i want to reduce the sidewall of the tires because they are too fat for me.
before I think about upgrading the rims to 17",
can I install 225/50/R16 tires on my rims?
does anyone have experience with these tires on this size rim?

I haven't found anything official from Volvo with these dimensions.

the size change will be -1.6%
(I'm fine with the speedometer being a bit higher)
