See https://www.wheel-size.com/size/volvo/c70/

C70 and C30/S40/V50 wheels aren't strictly interchangeable due to a different offset, even though they're the same bolt pattern and similar widths, and some of them even the same styles. Wheels from other contemporary Volvos also have too large a centre bore and/or different bolt sizes or even nuts.

So unless you want less projection in the wheel arches, AFAIK you're limited to other styles from the C70, or go aftermarket.

You might also look up other contemporary Fords for compatibility, I'm sure I've seen pictures of Mondeo wheels on a C70 but it looked pretty horrible.

I was looking for Volvo options really

A bigger bore size is not a big issue as you can get hub centric rings in fact you need to fit them if you want your wheels to run true.

thanks
