Could I fit Wheels form a s70 or V70 on a S60?
Or are they different fits?
Not sure how smart it is to do this...but current set is damaged. So Dealer is willing to replace them with another 2ndhand set.
What do you think? Good deal for me?

I have 16'rims..would it be problematic if I get bigger 17 or 16inch rims?

assuming the bolt pattern and backspacing are the same, and the diameter is at least as large, you can definitely get another set.

Some nice 17" pegs would look awsome. A bigger rim will decrease ride quality, but increase performance and handeling. A bigger rim would also allow you to run a better brake setup, such as a larger rotor and a big-brake kit.

18" may ride too harshly, imo, but a 17" would be a great compromise between looks/performance/practicallity. Notice, however, that tire wear gets worse and tires become more expensive in the larger rim sizes.
