Hey, hows it going
I just purchased a 97 S90. It being my first Volvo, I had been watching the ad go down in price for so long i had to go buy it. The previous owner was a great guy.
I used to own a landcruiser but had a disagreement with a sharp corner and gravity, I decided it was time for a change so here i am looking at wheel options for my volvo s90.
Any help would be amazing, Id prefer to avoid spacers/ adaptors & would to size them for a daily driven car - 17's or 18's if they fit nicely.
Definitely looking into turboing later down the track.
The car needs pads, disks & tyres all round, Timing belt has another 30k & 2 years on it & the engine bay is immaculate.

Nice!
Welcome!
If you do your own work, we can help or there are many onlin
E guides just beware Aussie isn't same as the USA ones in a lot of cases.
Parts? FCP EURO, ipd, Rockauto, PFS. High post costs far outweigh cheap parts price compared to here.
Or, Sandwood trading here in Melbz.
Berry Motor Group or Voldat or Masons Prestige for indie volvo experts.
Do the timing belt! You know you are safe then. Cheap insurance.
Do water pump and pulleys and tensioners too.
Pcv can be checked.
Use only volvo brand plugs and Bougicord leads.
Enjoy!

Looks great :-)
For wheels you have a massive range to choose from as you can fit FWD offset wheels. Look for any pre 2015 xc90 wheels on ebay and see what you like the look of. Lots of choices for cheap bigger wheels that way and some are quite fetching on an s90/960 when they didn't look so good on an xc90.

Xc70 ones too.

xc90 ones are less made of cheese as they are designed for 2.1 tonne but yeah, any 5x108 Volvo fwd wheel from 95 ish to 2014 ish
