The 2 wheels are identical in terms of technical specs:
- 6.5 x 15
- Offset 43mm

Tire size is up to debate, search forum for possible sizes.
You are OK, don't worry about these "new" wheels. They will work fine.

Thanks. I want to use 195/60r15 tires on them. 195/60r15 is what is recommended for the V70 (they came as the stock tire). As you point out, the specs for the two wheels are identical (that's why I bought them). So, I don't understand why the "recommended tire size is 195/65r15 for them. That seems irrelevant as the part touching the tire is the same for both. I just wanted to make sure before I order several hundred dollars worth of new (195/60r15) tires.
