Default Will 18" Nebula Wheels fit a Volvo C70 MK1?

I've got a MK1 C70 with a set of 17" Comet Alloys and would like to go up to 18s - I think the Nebulas are the best looking but I'm not sure if they will fit.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks...

Wow - they do look really good on there! Do you know the car? Just wondering if they have the same pdc or if they changed the hubs..

I've heard that they can make the ride a bit bumpy but I'm not too fussed about that. I saw a thread where they had the tyres rubbing and failed the MOT though which is more of a worry.

Anyone know how much worse they would make an already shocking turning circle?

Iirc the nebulas you need spacers on a the centre bore is different

I have 18" alloys on my c70 and it drastically improved the car but I also put a lowering kit on and the ride is the best it's ever been

Sometimes I think the tyres make a Hugh difference as well.
