Depends on what style you like the FWD Wheels from the P80 cars are an option, but youll need some spacers to clear Most of the older 5x108 wheels are quite...

There is a lot of truth to this. I think even @nickm will agree.

The Volans on my 850 have held up pretty well, but she isnt a show queen either
The mostly flat face on the loves kerbs

I bought a set when I had my R , they had big flat spot on two , not cracked and were re-rolled and painted. They were fine. Don't know what I did with em now , sold on for sure but who or where....
I did scrape one on my R after refurb once....big bluestone kerb in Port Melbourne , bastards of things poke out all over...

I have been reading about wheel offsets around the place and if someone could correct me if I'm wrong I would apprecieate it. I think I have settled on 17x7 +12 on the front and 17x8 +12 on the back and they should fit very nicely?

I did like Galaxy - until I saw the picture above! I wonder if there's another tyre sidewall height that better suits them? Because if they're going to look like that - then I don't want 'em now!? LOL...

These are the Galaxies on the 245 with a 205/50/16 tyre.

Mine are 16x8 ET5 front and 16x8.5 ET -2 rear with 205/60/16 and 225/55/16. No rubbing but I reckon 205 is a bit stretched on 8" and I'm going to try something a bit wider up front.

Edit: I should add that I have coil-overs up front for more spring clearance on the inside.

familyman;61377 wroteAnyone know between Polaris, or the Eiker copy... which one is softer?

@familyman volvo wheels are made of cheese.

finding a volvo wheel these days is quite easy.

Nice. The best Volvo wheel on a 240 I reckon.

I've seen these Superlite replicas on a 242 and quite liked them. They show 16x7 and 16x8.
