1978 Volvo 262 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Volvo 262C requires a 5x108 bolt pattern. The factory setup runs 14x5.5 at a 20mm offset. You can step up to 15-inch or 16-inch wheels, or go as large as 17-inch depending on your style preference. Since this model uses a square setup rather than staggered, you have full flexibility in pairing wheel widths front and rear.
The 5x108 bolt pattern is exclusive to this fitment—no other pattern will work. Your hub measures 65.1mm, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's center bore exceeds that size. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels risk rubbing the fenders and suspension components, so stay within the compatible range listed to keep clearance safe.
Every wheel we stock for your 262C bolts on and ships free to the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Petrol, Work Wheels, and Motegi Racing all offer options that fit your Volvo perfectly.
