I just bought some new wheels to use in the winter. I mounted them on my 2001 s60 t5 last night

They are oem off an 850 i believe, they look like this:



Anyways they seemed to fit fine but when I started to get out of the driveway the car didn't move at all because it seems like its rubbing on the front rotors. So, just wondering what went wrong? I have bigger brakes and was told when I bought the car that I need a minimum of 16 inch wheels... They are 16 inch wheels and I was told by a dealership that they would fit fine.

 

The offset might be the problem. They're going to rub on your calipers before the rotors, so the inside of the spokes may be hitting the face of the caliper. You can get around this by finding out how much clearance you need, then running the appropriate sized spacer to clear the face of the calipers.

 

Is it safe to run spacers on just the front? The front is the only place its rubbing!

 

Shouldn't be a problem.

 

Agree with jks2.
