You must find wheels with a bolt pattern of 5 x 108. The wheels should also preferably have an offset between ET -42 and ET -36. If not, you'll need spacers to prevent rubbing. These two characteristics make finding aftermarket wheels for Volvo's quite a bit more difficult than finding wheels for other cars. Also, most aftermarket wheels will require nylon hubcentric rings to correctly mate with the wheel hub.
