Any wheel from a C30, S40(04-), V50, S/V60(10-), V70(99-), XC60 and XC90

Where in Solihull are you at? I drive around/through it a lot.

Not true im afraid mate. the centre bore is different. the only wheels that will fit are ones with a bore of 65.1mm. C30 wheels v50 and s40/v40 have a centre bore of 63.4mm. So the wheel will not locate on the hub. old s40 wheels have a centre bore of 67.1 so although these will fit over the hub it may be difficult to centralise properly as you will be relying on the wheel nuts to centre the wheel. That is what the centre bore is for, to centre the wheel exactly on the hub. Spigot rings are available if the bore on the wheel is bigger than the hub but obviously not the other way round.

Do you have a set of original alloys you want rid of? I am looking for a set to replace the 18"s that are currently on my C70.

New style C70 or the old pre 2006ish one? Just checking.

Well considering it is in this section I took for granted that it was a 06- C70 and if so the wheels mentioned will fit. If it is the old wobbly C70 this is the section.

There is nothing wrong with the old C70 thanks very much. I own one as you well know and it takes the **** out of 99.9% of all other cars on the road. (including your c30 t5'r') The information in my original pdf post was lifted from volvo so is 100% correct.

Yes your right it is correct but for the old C70 and not the new one which this section covers.

I have drove the old C70 that is where I got my opinion from.
