C70 Wheel Offset

Toad of Toad Hall · Jul 22nd, 2009, 19:24

Does anybody know what the correct wheel offset is for the C70 and are they the same as the V50/S40/C30 ?

Although all these cars are built on the Focus platform Volvo have used a couple of fixex to get the much wider track for the C70.

One of them is to change the wheel offsets for the C70. The C70 also has a spacer between the rear hub and the suspension arm. I am not sure how they get the extra front track, I suspect either by a thicker front hub or spacing out the front lower arms from the subframe.

Regards, Don.

Provided the OP is referring to a late model C70 then they are not on that list.

However, as an example, one of the Volvo wheels you see fitted to both the C70 and the V50/S40/C30 is the Mirzam. They look the same but are different, the C70 version is 8x18 offset 45, the V50/S40/C30 version is 7.5x18 offset 52.5.
