Can I put 15" tires on for winter? Can I put 205 (14) in place of 185 (14) that are on now?

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

Some Volvos have a choice of wheel size according to model but the '93 240 spec is for the 185R14.

It is generally accepted that you can fit a tyre no more than 25mm wider than the spec size so the 205s will fit.
