Yes they should fit. You will more then likely have rubbing at full lock.

I hope you enjoy a very harsh ride, decreased fuel economy, and some other negative side-effects.

The only way to do big rims right on an S70 is to roll the fenders and do a little suspension work. It's only looked good to me with coil-overs.

17x7.5 comets with 215/45/17 tires works with no rubbing. If you go 225/45 you'll get some inner fender rubbing in the back at full suspension travel.
