Alloys for 1800E

sleek lemur · Oct 15th, 2019, 17:31

Hi all, any recommendations for 17 X 7J alloys? TH Petterson in Gothenburg list some that look like they would fit, but am concerned that I get wheels with the right offset. Unfortunately they don't answer emails and the phone number on the website is out of service.

Hi. I simply bought a set of Volvo C70 alloys,17" and fitted them on mine.

Now there's a simple solution! Kassie, what size tyre do you use?

sleek lemur · Oct 15th, 2019, 23:13

Ooh, and what year C70 were your wheels from?

HI I used R&R Alloys in Bedford they were really good and know about the P1800 sizes and off set - resonable price also! can also provide tyres :-)

I wouldn't have thought that you could use C70 wheels, they are for front wheel drive, but hey might fit if you use spacers. Over to you on that Kassie.
All rear wheel drive Volvo wheels will fit straight on if they are from the late disc brake rear 1800's through the 240, 700/900 cars except the late S90 and V90 as those had FWD type hubs. There are Volvo 16" and 17" wheels from those cars that can be used and the price is often right. Many of the aftermarket wheels have a poor standard of finish that doesn't last well. Some of the styles are also more for looks than strength and durability so buyer beware.

Thank you all. I'm not keen on the C70 wheels, but they would be a good size proxy when choosing. For reference I'm looking at 17x7J with pcs 5x108 and ET of 28mm or so. Unless anyone knows better!

Thanks for th Bedfordshire recommendation. Will try 'em!

Ok, have chosen a wheel. What size tyres would you recommend for 17" 7J on an 1800E?
