Default Volvo S40 MK1 rim/tire size

Hey!
I'd like to ask about the maximum reasonable rim size for my volvo s40, it's just a basic 2.0 NA model. I'm okay with low profile tires so that's not a problem.
Also what is the specified max rim size that was ""allowed" by the manufacturer?

Thanks for the help in advance.

I think 17 inch is considered to be the best option for the S40 model.

I'm still running 16 inch standard alloys on my S40 T4 as it handles just perfectly and the ride comfort is firm but not crashy.

I've got the 17inch stock wheels and the ride isn't too bad, firm enough but not too firm, there's still plenty of damping.
