The maximum recommended rim size on the V70 is 19", so a 20" rim could cause issues like rubbing the wheel arch etc & if they did fit, you'd probably experience a ride where you'd need a new set of teeth every time you hit a bump! Have a look at the website below (All alloys listed on here were options from the factory for your particular car - Scroll down & you'll see them all). This website gives you all the recommended tyre sizes too etc.

If you decide to get an aftermarket set of rims, make sure the lug pattern is 5x108pcd & that the offset matches what Volvo specify as being correct in relation to the size of the rim. So an 18" rim as an example would need to have a 55mm offset, as an incorrect offset affects the handling of the vehicle. Also ensure that you buy the correct tyres, as specified by Volvo for the particular size of rim you purchase. Again, wrong tyres can affect the driving experience.

Cheers for the link. I did see a set came on the 850 called Pegasus. Know they come 18s do they come 19s and how easy they be able to get hold of?

18" require additional steering limiter, 19" only on cars with R-design or Sport suspension for safety reasons (note that 4C with comfort / sport / advanced buttons is not the Sport suspension, confusingly!) You'll get more info over on Swedespeed.com

I don't think Volvo made 19" Pegasus alloys, so there's no chance getting hold of them.
