I know that in order to fit FWD alloys on a RWD car, spacers are in order, but to put RWD wheels on a FWD car, I don't know. I think there's a thread bouncing around here somewhere about the subject.

i dont know if you can. i think the smallest wheels the s60s came with are 16s. you might hit the caliper with the 15s. they'll bolt right up though, otherwise.

 

[ilya1972]

my wife's s60 came with 15" called misca

 

[ilya1972]

they are not going to fit...
which 17" are better and more valuable
17" volans or pegasus?

 

[Spac]

Pegasus are more valuable.
"Better" is highly subjective.

 

[Manbeard]

in my opinion, pegasus wheel would look loads better than volans on an S60.

740 wheels and 850 t-5 wheels

there are a bunch, and i mean a BUNCH of the xc90 big inch wheels, 18" plus. at least five new wheels that will be added as soon as possible. stay toond.

hey just a quick question about wheels for both of my Volvo's , do you sell wheels and what do you have for 1990 740 and 1997 850 t-5 wagon, love my 850's wheels but looking for anything that would fit both rides. thanks

You left out the several styles on steel wheels. Can you post them as well? I can supply pics of a few, (4 maybe 5)

 

[Dauntless]

I can't see a description of these wheels in this thread anywhere. What are they?

 

[CoconutLeah]

are they hubcaps?

 

[stick70]

sure look like hubcaps

 

[Dauntless]

Hmm good call, maybe they are. Now that I look at it, that piece in the middle doesn't look big enough to be a centre cap covering the wheel nuts. Oh well.

 

[CoconutLeah]

do hubcaps have names like wheels do?

 

[jonvws]

are these gemini rims? the center cap looks different

those kinda look like PRIME or American Racing 5 stars.

There's Perfo (16") as well:

Not my car, can't post one of mine until I get my ftp login working right again. I also have the "The choice is yours" poster showing all Volvo FWD/AWD wheels, I can try to post that as well.

They're Columbia, i think you'll find

I didn't go through the whole thread, but through a couple pages and never saw anyone correct this. It's from the first page.

BB-Q is wrong, Columbas only came on 850s and don't clear 302mm brakes. The Perfos came on S/V70 T5s and do clear the 302mm brakes. Plus, there are subtle differences between the Columbas and Perfos.

 

[Craigsbricks]

Can't find these anywhere in this thread or on the innerwebs. Not too many wheel styles with center cap that hides the lugs. Supposedly 16".

 

[volvogeek]

Is there any way to get more details on the wheels in this thread? Like backspacing, width, diameter, etc? Lots of wheels on the list but it's hard to tell what's what and what would fit unless you're a volvo encyclopedia.

I have a 2000 V70R that actually has Perfos for whatever reason. Even they barely clear the rotors which i'm not sure if its 302mm or bigger. Last time i needed rotors from the dealer i had to wait two days because it had to be a special order part, and dealers not carrying the 302 in stock is probably false, so that leads me to believe that i even have bigger rotors.
