volvo wheels-how big can I go?

[thorne]

Hi guys,
Just bought me a volvo 940 wagon for daily driver duties, anyone know the widest wheels I can get on there? Probably only go for 15's or 16's but want wiiiiiiiide ones, any idea how wide I can go? (will be lowered aswell)

There isn't a great deal of choice of wheels that will fit. Genuine ones can be had in 7x15, 7x16 and 7x17 and have an offset of aorund 25mm but none are particulary common or cheap. I've got 25mm spacers on mine and 7x16 Peugeot FWD steel wheels that have offsets of around 43mm. Spacers aren't cheap and you really need good ones.
Other options would be to get standard steels banded, FWD ones flipped or the centers pushed in to make the offset better.

Best of luck mate, unless you band or spend lots the wheel choice us pants.

Interestingly enough, Volvos have the same PCD as Ferraris. You never know what'll turn up for sale, so maybe the eBay bargain Ferrari wheels do exsist?

Only some ferrari's, and they don't exist cheaply, I've been looking for the last year. Best option is to get blanks if you can and get them drilled.

Volvos have the same PCD as lots of things, mondeos/focus/transit connect, jags, peugeots, ferraris, alfa romeo, lancia, renault, even maserati and probably more i didnt find out about.

the issue as always is offset and centre bore sizes and the problem is nothing with the right offset and centre bore is cheap.

Cheers for the info guys, what I want is to get some steels banded, so 7 inch wide should be ok then, ferrari wheels would be. ..different lol
