Yes when I take a sharp turn in the parking lot. I think these came with 205/45s but the tires are almost brand new so I'll change back to an original specs when it's time for some new tires. But I do like the way 225/45s look on this wagon. 
Anyway. That is an AWESOME, SWEEEEET car! I am very jealous of your wife getting to drive that... MMMmmmm that car is just so sweet.

So you don't think 215/45s would rub?

Its a really cheap upgrade, but V70 Upper tail lights would go great with the nice paint....You would be impressed with how much difference V70 tail lights make. Just and idea. Great looking car thou. welcome!

Thanks. I may do that. Just looked on the Craigslist and they are pretty inexpensive. They are perfect fit right?

225/45/17 shouldn't rub on a lower offset OEM 17" Volvo wheel (Volan, Comet, etc), but on a higher-offset wheel like the Tethys (ET49 iirc) you will get some rubbing for sure. 215/45/17 should be OK even on the higher offset Tethys. I wouldn't go narrower than that on the Tethys which is a 17x7.5" wheel. 205 series (which is the correct stock size for the 850R) will be too narrow and unless you like the stretched look, won't really be a great match with those wheels.

Clean R. Makes me miss mine. Wish I had this one too, I always wanted a wagon that was an R.
