Default Need help finding tires for my s70

Hi everyone, I just purchased a used pair of rims that come in the Volvo s70 bolt pattern! Finally found a pair that I like a lot. The only problem is I need to get new tires because the ones that came with the rims are (215/55/r18) which are huge and I think would rub if I tried to put them on. Here are the specs on my new rims. They are Borbet type T 5x108 18 in. So my question to you is, which tires would be a best fit for my Volvo on my new rims. I was thinking something like 215/35/r18 or 215/40/r18. Any suggestions?Thanks

Wow, you may want to enter those numbers in a tire website to see what will keep the ODO closest to oem. My guess would be 215-35/18. That will be a rough ride and constant danger of damage. My 17's are bad enough.
