17x 9 rear and 17x8 front volvo pattern custom offset
what centres are they?? XC90?
Late model ford modeo 17x7.5 5x108 52 offset. I cut the center's out machined the center hub to 65mm as mondeo ar 63.5mm getting the 17" steel hoops monday tuesday and testing a 9" wide rim..... if my calculations are correct they should fit....
6 days later
Any news?
I could go a set of steelies with good offset and wide for V70......
Are you keen on more ?
It will need some measuring and depends where you are and volvo spendy b dget of course!
Let me know the cost? PM?
Would be cheaper if the old steelhoops can be used to get the offset /dish you want if not steel hoops are around 100 each alone...
Where are they doing that? Shop?
Eastern wheel works I cut the centers out my self then bought the hoops and I will get them to clock them up and weld it
Ooo. I have some 15x8 hoops with 140 centres and some 740 centres I want in the 8" wheels.
I did this myself with the rears on my 164. I am about to tackle another set over the weekend.
Where did you get your 'hoops' Rob?
I bought the 15x7's for the 164 from a welding works up here several years back, I'm not sure where they sourced them. The 15x4.5 and 15x9's I am doing over the weekend are old stock that i bought from a guy up the road.

TBH I am not sure where I would go to get new ones these days.
Can you get 16-15 step down hoops?
mmmm i will have to make a call to check never seen or used them, only used 14-15 step UP and 16-17 set up rims
the 16" rims i get have a 342mm center
the 15" hoops come with 312mm, 320mm, 337mm center
the 17" hoops have a 392mm center
i guess 'step up' is what I want. To convert my 15x5.5's to 16x7 or 8

I shall measure and get back to you .. cheers
Very drool worthy. Apparently Peugeot steelies are good as well. Flip them and you get major dish.

Post up a rough final cost, would be great future reference! =)
