Default Wheel and Tire Sizes

I recently acquired a 2000 V70 and it has the factory 15 inch 6spoke (Antlia - I think that's right) and I want to go to a larger wheel and tire combo. I did read some articles about wheel rubbing and horrible turning radius with 17 inch rims. Is this the case for all V70's or does this affect certain years? I want to go with a 17 inch wheel and what would be the largest tire that would fit? I'm leaning towards 215, or 225, 45/17 but what about 235's?

Appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks,
Randy

So now I have (4) Volvo's, '79 244 w/bodykit, '80 Bertone with 5.0HO V8 w/17" Alba's, and '86 740 wagon. Good thing I have a long driveway.
