I'm running 225/45/17 tires on my 00 V70R. Some Volvos were optioned with 17" rims, but not that tire size. I am amazed they were not rubbing. That tire size (235/45/17) is common on some of the sportier P3 models from 01-09. I regularly see them for sale used.

The offset is likely 49mm which pulls the tire into the inner fender particularly at the front and also to the parking brake cables at the rear.

to help identify the rims and probable source.
