Little back story-- I purchased a set of Porsche Panamera Turbo S wheels for an 02 Volvo S60, which I lost a couple of weeks back. Long story and really don't want to talk about it lost the timing belt due to a had tensioner). The wheels measure out at 19x10 61et for the rear, and 19x9 60et for the fronts.

I found my 02 XType while windowshopping on eBay and now I im stressing myself over this wheels and tires combo I have sitting in my room. The tries are are at 275/39/19 Rear and 235/35/19 up front. I want to leave the stock height and hopefully purchase some adapters that will make this all work.

I've seen a member here named Execepet pull off some great looking wheels: some 10" wide and some that are 20" wheels. With the stock height in mind, I feel that I'm somewhere in the middle by judging his past setups.

What do you guys think, Can I pull this off?

 

Few typos -- the rear tires are 275/30/19 et61

 

 

They are even with the staggered fitment.

If you go to tiresize.com and match up my tire sizes, I'm off by a mm, if that. I also confirmed the tire sizes with discount tire for an awd and they approved the tire ratings. The Volvo's AWD system is a bit more sensitivery with overall tire diameter biad so I made sure I got that down to the T.

 

RG: You're correct - these tires are the same diameter.

Different question: Will you drive many miles / year on them? I ask because the staggered tires on my S430 AMG last only ~10K miles rear and ~15K miles front. Mileage warranties don't help: tire makers cut the warranty 50% for staggered tires you can't rotate front to rear. At ~$300 per tire, it's not fun buying ~4 replacements every year after year.

So I punted, bought rear wheels that match the front, and now rotate & balance regularly for ~40K mile tread life.

Not suggesting you do the same; just my 2 cents on the downside of staggered tires on a daily driver.

 

Wishfully thinking I don't think this car will last past another 40k miles. I am pretty much stuck with what I have at hand far as wheel and tire setup goes.

Here is a pic of what I purchased. At $500 shipped I won't argue with the staggered fitment though it was not something I went out to achieve.
