Smaller wheels for a T8

[XCal]

It seems that a lot of the XC60's available have 21" or bigger wheels.

As I drive quite a bit on unmade and country roads, really would like smaller wheels, the Volvo genuine wheels seem to be very expensive, has anyone bought an after market wheel in 19" at all?

Thank you.

Does not look like an ideal solution to be honest.

If you are going aftermarket you just choose what you want and buy it couldn't be any simpler, look at approved sizes for your car in the manual and then go shopping, I did that when I bought 20" to downside from the tyre popping 22s.

pay attention to offsets etc if you have additional bodykit so the wheels have appropriate poke.

Also pay attention to the tyres you buy and make sure EV type tyres are chosen, I did not do this and lost over 10-15% range until I changed tyre back.

Thanks Sandys, which rims did you buy?

I'm not the biggest fan if I am honest, like all wheels they look better bigger, 20s in this style looks too small on such a big car, going black was probably a mistake too but she who must be obeyed........

If you've not got a t8 yet I wouldn't worry about it until you've tried it, the Volvo rode well on 22s, just think the tyre wasn't robust enough, that 1" difference on 21s might make all the difference we over corrected after 3 tyres in as many months.
