    I had a look at this a while back, as someone offered me some 20" jag wheels fairly cheap. The only car with the same pcd etc was Pug 607. Not great alloys. You can buy adapters though, which allow you to fit different sizes. Not sure how they work though.
    Search for the thread on here (using my name I s'pose) as there was a good website link to the different manufacturers wheel sizes.

    Jag wheels dont fit, when got my mille miglias for the C70 they sent a set through for a Jag by mistake as the offsets etc were very similar however they did go on but needed much longer bolts for them to fit.

    The RX8 wheels are made by Mille Miglia I think aswell but doubt would fit, however you can get them to fit the Volvos.

    Hey there,

    I think you got the ones that I was very close to buying from ebay as well! you scooby somert on ebay? I didn't go for them as the guy said one had a slight kink in. I was going to suggest to get your money back but looks like you have been successful already?

    Think im goin to have to hit the wallet hard and get some brand new ones myself... cost ££££££ but at least you know about them and you can get the exact right ones. Ebay is great in ways but can also be a nightmare!

    DOH! Why didnt you bid, wudda saved me a fortune
    Ya live an learn I suppose. All in all, they've cost me £380, but Im hoping to get back £250, just waiting to hear. Then Im gonna save, and get some 18's, BUT, the 225 tyre rubbed on full lock, so we may need to get 215/40/18's. Im might just go for 17",s, but the 18's look WELL nice! Pitty their scrap!

    In theory any wheels that fit the new Focus should fit the S40/V50 so unless X type and Mondeo wheels are the same then they wont fit as those cars share nothing with any of the Volvos.

    Going to be like VW group shortly as where parts for one will fit all the others, Aston wheels here we come!

    Hehe... i was very close to bidding on them but after finally finding out about a kink in 1 alloy i left them alone, they didn't say anything about the other 3 though. I also mentioned to the seller to put in the description about this kink (dent) but they musn't of bothered. doh indeed!

    225 rubs on full lock?? im getting some OZ Canyons 18" and i think they come with 225 tyres so there goin to rub? Although I suppose the offset or some of the specs of the alloy may make a difference?

    I have 225s on 17" canistos and yes they do rub sometimes on hard full lock but who cares - you'll be doing less than 3mph anyway.

    that's what i got told a year or so ago, only i was told that new mondeo wheels are the same 5x108, but i will need to have a set of custom spacers made at around £250!

    But i know Renault Laguna 5 stud, Renault 21 5 stud, Jag X type (same as a mondeo underneath) will all fit

    Infact, at the French Car Show in April or so this year, there was a Renault 21 Turbo sitting on anthracite Columbos T5 wheels. I wanted to steal them when he wasn't looking but none of my mates would help

    Kahn Wheels Website

    seems
    Renault Laguna
    Peugeot 607
    and Ferrari's are the closest...

    The only other thing to consider is the centre bore of the wheels...this has been an issue for Peugeot 106 to Citreon Saxo's. They're supposed to be the same hub but they don't always match....
