I have a 1996 850 Turbo WAGON. Originalwheels ==six-spoke "Cetus" 15 inch.
Original tires== 195/ 60/ R15.

Ibought 4 wheelstaken from a1994 850 Turbo SEDAN.
New wheels = 5-Spoke "Columbia" 16 inch (twisted, propeller-like).
These wheels came with new tires installed.
Tire size = 205 / 60/ R16.

When I put the new wheel/tireunitsnext to my original, the units from the sedan is muchTALLER and WIDERthan the originalson my wagon.

I have 2 fears:
1) Will the WIDER tire scrape the suspensions? When I turn the steering wheel.
2) Will the TALLER tire hit the wheel well when I go over a bump?

Please offer some advice. Thanks.

 

They should fit without any problems at all.
I have the 16's on one of my cars and it came stock like that. Never rubs.

 

I know that the factory recommended is 215/50/16 (It's what it says on the inside of my gas door).

It sounds like you might rub and need to roll your fenders, but i'm not completely sure...The width is good, but I'm a bit concerned about the height...

Also, how's your suspension? Is it sagging at all?

Edit: Looks as though Tech's got the same setup and it works fine.

Double Edit: Tech, is the suspension for the wagon the same as the sedan?

 

Yes it is exactly the same suspension.

 

^Interesting. I'd've thought the wagon would tolerate more weight and would be diff.

 

They are pretty much all the same.
The only one that has a heavier suspension is the AWD.

 

Or, you may want to try this tyre as an alternative.
