v70 2005 alloy replacement
so with mine needing some restoration and i fancy a lager alloys (and also no clue as to what size alloy will fit!)
found this https://www.wheelbasealloys.com/allo...inch?year=2005 anyone here used them? any good? or in fact have a set of alloys for sale? :D |
larger diameters are known to cause problems with rubbing on the inner wheel arch, you may have to adjust the steering stop and of course that can reduce your turning circle
im sure others will come along and give more accurate info on that but something to bear in mind anyway |
i believe 17s are ok?
imagine REDUCING the turning circle of the barge! no more 3 point turns 45..! |
mine are 195/65 R15, I can feel it hitting the stops on full lock and never had any rubbing, can do a 3 pointer pretty much anywhere the same as I would have in any previous car ?
I just know I've heard other people commenting on the larger wheels being a problem in that way, that's all |

They look nice though |
Recommended tyre sizes are:-
205/55 R16 215/55 R16 225/45 R17 235/40 R18 Smaller wheels will give a softer ride over the pothole ridden roads, bigger wheels will be harsher Wheel offset is important, 17" Volvo wheels are around ET49 (offset), Volvo 16" wheels are between ET43 and ET49 (offset) 17" wheels require black steering stops to prevent rubbing |

Regarding the wheels/tyres for the V70 I'm thinking of going the other way, I currently have the original fitted 225/45 R17 but the pot holes here in rural Devon are so bad I'm thinking of going to R16 or maybe even R15. |

195-65-15, perfectly adequate and a more affordable tire size, morphed into 205-55-16. And the P3 is on 17's! (Anguish)
