S40 (New) Wheels/Tyres : 15" Steel Rims

[johnjb]

I am considering fitting 15" steel rims to an S40 2.0D and fitting winter tyres.
Has anyone any feedback/comments to this proposal?

Sorry forget to add the 15" steel rims are 5 x 108 PCD

If you have 320mm brakes might not fit.

16" should fit any brakes you could conceivably have on there.

Thanks for the feedback, i will dump the idea of 15" and go instead for 16" rims
Information greatly appreciated.

The 2.0d had most commonly 300 mm brakes. But even then they won't.

278 mm up front: 15"
300 mm up front: 16"
320 mm up front: 17"

I'd say, it is probably 300 mm.

Thanks for the detailed technical information, I will reassess the purchase of the steel rims and got for 17" instead

320 will fit under 16" I've seen posts about it so you can go 16 or 17 and it almost certainly be fine.
