1981 Volvo 244 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Volvo 244 DL or GL needs a 5x108 bolt pattern wheel. The factory setup runs 14x5.5 with a 20mm offset. You can step up through 14, 15, 16, or 17-inch diameters, with widths ranging from 5.5 to 7.5 inches depending on size. The car rolls on a square setup, so front and rear accept the same specifications.
Watch for the 65.1mm hub-centric bore—use hub-centric rings if your wheel's center bore measures larger. Only 5x108 bolts fit this Volvo, so confirm that pattern before ordering. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels risk rubbing the fenders and suspension, so stay within the compatible sizes listed to avoid fitment issues.
Every wheel we stock for your 244 bolts on cleanly and ships free across the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Petrol, Work Wheels, and Motegi Racing all carry fitments ready to ship to you.
