Default 18" Medusas on V70

Hi

2002 V70 2.4 has got 18" Medusa wheels fitted which someone pointed out to me that they should not fit...is this correct? If so I'll have to investigate further as I'm breaking/selling the car very soon and the wheels appear to be the most valuable bit of the car so I'd like to know what it is I'm selling.

I've had the car since Feb 2018 and love driving it but an overheating issue that isn't the pump,rad or thermostat,indicates that the head needs to come off apparently. Unless I was try and do it myself then that repair job will cost more then the cars worth ufortunately so this is where I am..

It is also a harder ride than the smaller rim sizes as the 18' will only 40 or 45 profile tyres.

NB - apparently you can get thicker steering stops to stop the tyres rubbing on full lock.
