Apart from Comets and Pegasus, what other genuine Volvo wheelS will fit on my car?? Current Comets are 7J X 17.
Will wheels from, for example, V50 fit??

Anything that's genuine Volvo 5x108 17" and above will fit, right up to the very latest wheels. I have the Propus on mine and they're a perfect fit.
I'm not sure you are correct. Some 7J x 17 wheels I am led to believe, won't fit with the 302mm front discs, even though the pcd at 108 are the same.Quote:

Thanks bud
Any 17" wheel will fit over the 302 brakes, it's only the variants of the 16" wheels that cause problems.
Yes, my car does have the 302mm front brakes - as do all S/C/V70 T5s and Rs. The Propus alloys were originally an option on the C70 T5 GT. My signature pic is a fairly good yard stick, I'll dig some more out and pop them up. :)
afaik some/all of the later model volvos, although 5x108 have a different centre bore. just something i read somewhere so not sure if accurate.
but if that was the case, if the centre bore on the later model was larger, spigot rings could be used. if they were smaller, they'd have to be bored out which if not done properly would cause all sorts of problems.
No...............I beg to differ. Only the 70Rs IIRC had the 302mm bigger discs fitted as standard. Maybe some else could clarify.Quote:

Well. I've been into these Volvos for years and I've never seen one without 302s, but maybe some were de-specced.
Apologies, I stand completely corrected. I've just looked at my T5 brochures on PDF and you are entirely correct. The standard brake set-up was 295mm/280mm. I guess mine has simply had a factory upgrade (which wouldn't surprise me as it was originally a MET Police surveillance and pursuit car).Quote:

So then, is the above statement true, or am I correct by saying that some 17 inch Genuine Volvo wheels won't fit over the 302mm discQuote:

Of course, you can always try before you buy.
