wheel fitment guide

Post by redline »

found this guide to help you decide if rims your thinking of buying will fit ,

it gives pcd (stud pattern and spacing ) offset and centre bore size ,


dont forget you must stick to the correct pcd ,

you can try different offsets but watch out for fouling of arches or suspenson parts.

you can use wheels with a bigger centre bore ( preferably with a spigot ring to take up the difference ) but not smaller , although on some wheels a machine shop can actually enlarge the centre bore for about £10.00 a rim.


I have listed the volvo fitment here to make comparison easier



Model P.C.D. Offset C/Bore
340, 360, 440, 460, 480 4 x 100 32...38 52.0



then look here to see what fits in with the above

I remember a previos post and someone mentiond there is no locator on the rear axle.

The drums are flat but doth the mk and mk3 that I have have a stub on the hub itself. Spigots are a good idea if at all posible the the centre bore is oversize.
