Yes, but you are definitely going to get some rubbing. I have 225/45/17 on my S60 and there is some rubbing on full lock turns. Anything you read about 18" on an S60 states that they will rub. Nineteen's will definitely be worse, especially with the 8.5" width. My 17's are 7.5".

You should check the offset of the wheels you are interested in. The S60 wheels have an offset that is +45mm or larger depending on the exact wheel. If you have a larger offset, the wheel will be situated further 'inside' the fender. If the offset is smaller, the wheel will be positioned further towards the outside.

i have 17" rims with a offset of +48mm on my ASA rims with 235/45/17 and i get some rubbing on full turns.If you dont have tires all ready look at the outside tread patten thats where the rub comes from.I used Yokohama AVID W4S and they sill rub but much less than the Toyo Proxes that tire store suggested.I am going to have to put 5mm spacers to get rid of all of it.
