Every wheel we offer has been verified to fit your 264 GL and ships free to the lower 48 states. You'll find compatible sizes ranging from 14 inches up to 17 inches in widths from 5.5 to 7.5 inches, giving you flexibility to match your style while maintaining proper fitment and clearance.
1978 Volvo 264 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Volvo 264 GL uses a 5x108 bolt pattern. The stock setup is a 14x5.5 wheel with a 20mm offset. You can upgrade to larger diameters and widths—14x6, 15x5.5 through 15x7, 16x7 to 16x7.5, or 17x7 to 17x7.5—while maintaining the same bolt pattern across the entire car.
A critical point: only 5x108 wheels will fit your Volvo; no other bolt pattern is compatible. The hub center bore measures 65.1mm, so use hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel has a larger bore. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels risk rubbing the fenders or suspension components, so select offset and width carefully even within the listed compatible sizes.
Every wheel we offer for your 264 GL bolts on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock Heritage Wheel, Petrol, Asanti Black, fifteen52, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Motegi Racing, and Mazzi—all verified to fit your Volvo.
