Default widest tire size on 2007 S40?

Hello all,

What's the widest tire I can install on my 2007 S40i? I have the Caligo 16x6.5alloy wheels. It has the factory 205/55/16 tires. I always prefer to have a moreaggessive look on all my cars. Please advise.

thanks in advance!

You should be able to run a 225/50/16 and still keep the speedo pretty accurate. That would give youalmost another solid inch of width. Any wider/lower and you might get a harsher ride,less treadlife, limited choice, and higher price tag. But that's not to say you couldn't go wider.

edit: ^ And then you also have the turning radius of a school bus. My comment above was assumingthe OP wantsto keep the stock wheels. In that case, You could probablysport the 18" Pegasus as well. IMO its a waste to buy larger wheels, but that's me.

Didn't mean to come off sounding harsh. I know it probably did. Sorry.
