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.

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.

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).

it tended to be a mix & match to which ?70 had 302's & which had 280's.I would assume all R's came with 302's but on the normal spec T-5's i think it was a case of which they picked up first
parts for volvo even list 280's for them link
All the 17" wheels will fit over the 302 brakes, only the variants of the 16" wheels had fitment issues with the 302 brakes.
Of course, you can always try before you buy.
