Comparative wheel sizes
I'm looking to change my current rims to Pegasus or R design alloys (or are they the same?). But before I do I need to know that the pcd, offset, etc. are compatible with my car. Is there a website or comparison table anywhere that i could use? I'm currently looking at 17" or 18" 2003 V70 R wheels to fit to mine, a 2008 facelift V50. Thanks again 👍

Thanks for the replies and links. As expected this is not as straight forward as it looks! Initial research seems to show that the Pegasus rims won't fit a V50 as the centre bore and offset are different.
I also need to research whether going from a 17" to 18" rims will alter the amount of offset required, and if so how much. I also need to find out whether i can fit a rim with a slightly bigger centre bore diameter safety as well. If anyone has any information on this or can point me in the right direction it would be gratefully received. Thanks. |

I think the V50 can handle anything from 46-52.5mm offsets depending on the width of the wheel.
The bigger centre bore isn't a huge issue as you can fit spigot rings that shrink it down to 63.4mm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spigot-Ri....c101006.m3226 Any other wheel that is 5x108 PCD and 63.4mm centre bore or bigger should fit the V50.

You can fit pegasus rims to a C30/S40/V50 with hub-centric rings as the hubs on an S60/V70 are fractionally larger. It was common practice in the USA and you'll find a few folk on swedespeed that fitted pegs. The offset is indeed different but I don't recall anyone on those forums calling out issues with rubbing.

Thanks for those replies, some really helpful info 👍
Regarding the offset. How does the width of the wheel affect the offset measurement? I.e. is it the wider the wheel the less offset required, or the other way around? |

I'll just leave this here also
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...psxwkzmqyl.jpg I thought the bigger offset moves the wheel further away from the car, to adjust for the tyres rubbing on the inner arches when they're fatter.
