Ok, so a guy is selling locally a set of 4 17" Volvo Comet rims and tires for dirt cheap. Would these fit on my V70 or should I stick with the 15 inch rims?

Here's a link for a pic, I know they will fit on the V70 R models.

They'll fit, but do you want to give up every single bit of ride comfort for pretty rims? The T5 already has a harsh ride with 16" wheels.
