Got a '98 c70 but as of today it has an s70 hood (which is identical). Based on that, I feel OK posting in *this* forum :)

The car came with an awful set of peeling-chrome arelli aftermarket wheels that barely fit. The hub bore is way too big and the lug holes do not quite line up. The result is a very poor drive.

I've been trying desperately to find an affordable set of 850 or s/v/c70 wheels and have never come up with more than two wheels of any style at a time.

I found a pretty nice-looking set of S-type Jaguar wheels, but the listed hub bore for a Jaguar is 63.6 mm, while the hub bore of a FWD volvo appears to be 65 mm.

a 1.4mm difference seems insignificant, but hub-centric wheels are probably not likely to forgive that much space. I can do the math, but is there any chance that these wheels would fit my c70?

Does anyone have any alternate wheel make suggestions that would fit? There are very few late-model volvos in the local junkyards around here and my choices are quite limited.
