V50 Wheels/Tyres : - New Winter wheels for V50

Hi all, wonder if the "Mannan" 7 x 17" wheels will fit my 2006 V50 2.0D(link bellow), planning running them on a 205/50 winter tyres, done a lot of research online and couldn't find a reason that these wouldn't fit.

I'm currently running on 18" Medusa wheels tyre 215/45/18.

Trying to change to these ones and 205/50/17 winter tyres:

Some research:

If someone could share some knowledge on this it would be great.

They should be fine as long as they are 5x108 with a 63.4mm centre bore.

From my own wheel research I think the V50 can handle offsets between 47.5 - 52.5

According to these tyre apps,they say that there are closer tyre comparison possible.

There might be but 205/50R17 is the OEM tyre size for a V50 on a 17x7J rim.

OEM fitment is 5x108, 52.5mm offset and 63.4 centre bore/hub.

Yes agree, so I believe that it shouldn't be an issues fitting these wheels, only difference is the offset which is 52.5mm on the Medusa and 50mm on the Mannan.

If wee look at the Volvo accessory page the Medusa are available for the 2015 V40 along with the Mannan but these aren't available for the V50, possibly because it's no longer commercially available.

Hi all,

I have now replaced the wheels with no issues at all. Driving wise has improved substantially due to the road conditions here.
