1979 Volvo 245 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Volvo 245 DL uses a 5x108 bolt pattern with a stock 14x5.5 wheel at 20mm offset. You can upgrade to wider sizes up through 17x7.5, including popular options like 15x6.5, 16x7, and 17x7. Since your car runs square fitment, matching wheel and tire sizes front to rear keeps things simple and balanced.
The 5x108 bolt pattern is exclusive to your Volvo—no other pattern will work safely. Your hub requires a 65.1mm center bore; use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore is larger to ensure proper centering. Aggressive offsets or widths beyond what's listed risk rubbing the fender or suspension, so stick within the compatible range we've verified.
All wheels listed here are confirmed to bolt directly onto your 245. We ship free to the lower 48 states, and you'll find Heritage Wheel, Petrol, Asanti Black, fifteen52, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Motegi Racing, and Mazzi in stock and ready to ship.
