Bolt pattern is 'japanese': 4 x 114.3. Shop for wheels which fit Toyota's and such.

Default offset of steel Volvo wheels is ET44 (don't know about alloys), but if you want to go wider than 205 tires (the max. on Volvo wheels) then most aftermarket wheels have an offset which ranges from ET35 to 42 with ET37 being most common for 17"/8J wheels.

My 215/40R17 setup with a wheel with ET37 has enough clearance on the inside so it doesn't rub on turning the wheel to full lock and it doesn't rub on the rear fender lip either (not even when fully loaded and hitting the bump-stops)
