1979 Volvo 262 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Volvo 262C requires a 5x108 bolt pattern wheel. The factory setup runs 14x5.5 with a 20 offset. You can fit anything from 14-inch through 17-inch diameters, with widths ranging from 5.5 to 7.5 inches depending on size. Since this is a square setup, staggered versus square sizing doesn't apply here.
All wheels must match the 5x108 bolt pattern—nothing else will secure properly to your hub. The center bore measures 65.1 millimeters; if your wheel's bore exceeds this, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper fitment. Aggressive offsets or extremely wide wheels risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so verify clearance before committing to any configuration outside the stock parameters.
