Martin, what do you want to know? What standard is for the 93 Turbo or what looks nice on the 93 Turbo?

In any case I have 16"/40/215 :D

Do you mean to say that you want normal wheels?

Sound's like they're normal than the advised ones, but that's possibly better. So long as they're not rubbing. Looks better too!

Hmm I've got 195/60/15 whereas I should have 195/55/15 its most common I guess and that's what the description of the wheels on the forum says..if you vovlo wheels just check in the accessories on the volvo 480 europe page ;)

I suspect if you put 215s on, you'll get mega scrubbage, especially on full lock...
