wheel size/dimensions

Post by rajsta » Sun Feb 11, 2007 8:10 pm

does anyone happen to know the wheel size and width and also the offset that are on this 480 -

or alternatively could someone reccommend an offset that would make the wheels sit like that?
im not keen on big rims, i prefer the euro look so im looking for either 14" or maybe 15" rims and hoping i can fit them at 8"wide.

I would guess that these are 8 or 9J wide wheels with 205/215mm tyres.

Look at the Volvo 480 section of the site (Volvo 480/ Photo gallery/ body kits) and you will have more bodykits
