Volvo 440 alloys on Volvo 360

[SteveP]

Hi,

I picked up my '88 360GLT yesterday, and have found a set of tyres/wheels that I would like to fit from a Volvo 440.

What would I need to do this? I think the 440 has wheel bolts rather than the 360 wheel nuts? Does anyone know if you can use the wheel nuts from the 360GLT alloy wheels with the 440 alloy wheels? Or would I have to buy seperately?

I'd ask on Volvo300 mania but the forum seems to be down :(

Hope some people in the know will be able to help :)

steve,

your '300 wheel nuts should work fine on a '400, best to check with james, as he's done the conversion.

I'd have a look at http://www.volvospares-uk.com/wheels.htm and decide which you like best.

Cheers Hugh,

I thought I'd better check about the wheel nuts. I've found a set, albeit 14" (would rather be 15") with good tyres for a very good price. They're the Anteres 5 spoke style that were fitted to the late 440 CD models. The standard GLT alloys are horrible, and mine are caked in brake dust thats hard to remove.

Just given the car a wash, it's looking pretty good. Drives lovely, and goes like stink. Although I'd like a new colour coded black rear bumper, it has a standard black one with paint peeling off :(

Steve

if the paints peeling off its colourcoded

just sand it down, prime it and respray it

Man, that site is a load of crap. No proper names, several model innacuracies. I can see I need to make a wheel database...

cheers

James

but if you phone them up they're dead handy. based in soton too

Sure they're cool...they could just do with sorting that page out.

I'm considering starting a Volvo alloy database...

cheers

James
