1981 Volvo 262 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Volvo 262 GL rolls on 5x108 bolt pattern wheels. The factory setup is 14x5.5 with a 20mm offset. You can upgrade to 15-inch or 16-inch sizes, or push to 17 inches for a more modern stance. Square fitments work throughout the size range, giving you flexibility in choosing matching widths front and rear.
All wheels for your 262 must respect the 5x108 bolt pattern—nothing else will fit. The hub centers at 65.1mm, so if your wheel's bore exceeds that, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper seating. Aggressive offsets or extra-wide wheels risk rubbing the fender or suspension components, so stick within the compatible sizes listed to keep clearance safe and reliable.
Every wheel we offer for your Volvo is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Shop trusted names like Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, and Asanti Black—all in stock and ready to ship.
