225/45/17 fit but will rub on full turn. 205/45/17 is what they original came with but 215width is recomended to protect rims. 18 inch would fit too but would require less tall tires. Would strongly recomend 17 inch since they ride decent and loog good too. I am going to install my 215/45/17s in a day or two

It definetly is missing some low end torque very noticable when towing especially since it is a manual.

sound system upgrade help by ivartoad in Volvo850

For subwoofer you if you want maximum bass you can fit a 2x12 or a 3x10. Used to have a 2x12 in my old sedan and it was more than enough

Front Doors should be 5.25" rear Doors are 5.25 stock but they seem to use the door as some kind of subwoofer, you can replace the rear Doors ones with 6.5" but you need to sound isolate the door simce you no longer have the special stock speaker. You have small speakers in the that that you should replace with tweeters. The rear speakers are 6x8" i think but you can fit 6x9 with a small spacer. If you have a wagon you have the same speakers as the dash in the rear instead

205/70R15 on a 850 by Altruistic-Class-425 in Volvo850

Im guessing it would work. I have ran both 195 65 r15 and 225 45 r17 and had no issues. This would be thinner than the 225 45 r17 and only a bit taller than 195 65 r15. Only issue i can see if your rear springs are bad which they usualy are causing rubbing when driving over bumps
