I had Volvo wheels on my LJ. I worked at Cheney Dutton Volvo in Adelaide. They sit a fair way inside the guards, so you may need to fix that offset.
Maybe check the local Volvo place for a set of steelies. Maybe a customer fit mags.

yeah i know they might need to be adjusted but i know a place that can do that. ive tried to talk to solitare in adelaide but they really didnt want to help me at all, same with the volvo dealership in darwin when i was up there a month ago.

orange, i know the wheels arent perfect but they will do for now, just needed wheels bigger than 13's to actually be able to find decent tyres!!

I had 14" HK Prem wheels on my LJ ( which bolt straight on ) - but i remember chatting to them about going up a size or 2. They remove the centre and put on a new outer.

Early S80 and V70 poverty packs had steel 16s. I had a few but never put them on the torrie. I live in the US now but I think my old man has 2 of my 15" Volvo wheels in his garage.
Let me know if you decide to go 15s and I can see if he's got them and we can make a deal.
Pretty sure he has 2 14" wheels also.

i knew some volvos did have them. thanks for the info. im really after the 16's because i have a really good set of tyres i want to use. do you have any of the 16s laying around or know anybody that might be able to help me since you worked in the industry for volvo?

cheers

I don't have any 16's. Its been 6 years since I was at Volvo, so I don't have too many contacts left. I have one friend I can try, but he works for BMW now. I know it will probably hurt to know this but we filled a dumpster once with parts and wheels. All steel 15 and 16s. Such a sad waste.
You know I think maybe Saab had the same stud pattern. Maybe you could try that route.

If you could contact your friend I would appreciate it a lot. I looked up Saab and I think the pcd was 5x110 which is a bit out. I talk to a second hand wheel
Guy yesterday and he said he also chucked out a heap of Volvo steel rims and regrets it now, haha.
