Question Will these wheels fit

Hi there I am the owner of a 2011 c30 1.6 drive e with 15” libra wheels (6.5”wide 46mm offset)
I have been wanting to change these wheels for a while am think I have found a pair
They are jag rims with a 5x108 pcd which will fit but they are 18” diameter and 7.5” wide with a 52.5 offset
Will these fit my car ?

7.5 x 18's are used in the C30 T5 models & the original Volvo wheels have a 52.5 offset, so they should fit fine. Just make sure you're using the correct tyre size to match the alloy, which is 215/45ZR18.

Double check the alloys to ensure that they're definitely this size before purchasing. The 18" wheels won't be as comfortable as your existing ones, so bear that it mind.

I forgot to note in my above post that your existing alloys will have a 63.4mm centre bore, so the Jag wheels need to be the same.

Default Poor ride

I found the ride of my 2.4i just too harsh and changed tyres to 225 50 17

Amazing improvement in ride and looks
they only just touch the plastic liners at front.. will wear hole then be clear.
205 tyres are just too small and hard.!

Agreed. I prefer a bit of tyre cushioning underneath the alloy, not these low profiles. The previous owner of my car put 18" aftermarket ones on it, but they made the ride far too firm in my opinion. I had enough of them in the end, so I sold them & purchased a set of 17" 'Spartes' alloys (A factory Volvo option) with 225/50/17 tyres & its made a remarkable difference.
