We handle the fitment verification so you can focus on style and performance without compromise.
1978 Volvo 245 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Volvo 245 uses a 5x108 bolt pattern and rolls on 14x5.5 wheels with a 20mm offset from the factory. You can fit 14, 15, 16, or 17-inch diameters in widths ranging from 5.5 to 7.5 inches, depending on the size. Since the car runs square (not staggered), you have full flexibility to match sizes front and rear.
Keep in mind that only 5x108 bolts will fit your Volvo; no other pattern works. The hub bore sits at 65.1mm, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's center bore exceeds that measurement. Aggressive offsets or very wide setups risk rubbing the fender and suspension, so stick to the recommended fitment range to avoid clearance issues.
All wheels in our fitment database are verified to bolt on and ship free to the lower 48 states. We carry Heritage Wheel, Petrol, Asanti Black, fifteen52, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Motegi Racing, and Mazzi—each ready to transform your 245.
