Key Fitment Notes (Important)
1. Consistent Volvo PCD
All S60 generations use:
- 5x108
→ Makes wheel swapping between generations easier (with correct offset)
2. Centre Bore Standardisation
- Most modern Volvo S60: 63.4 mm
→ Aftermarket wheels often require hub rings
3. Offset Sensitivity
- Typical range: ET42–55
→ Too low = poke / guard issues
→ Too high = inner clearance issues
4. Torque Difference by Generation
- Early models: ~110 Nm
- Modern models: up to 140 Nm
→ Always torque correctly to avoid: - Brake rotor warping
- Wheel loosening

Why Correct Fitment Matters
Incorrect specs can cause:
- Steering vibration (wrong CB)
- Brake damage (incorrect torque)
- Handling instability (wrong offset)
- Uneven tyre wear
Using Wheel-Size standard data ensures:
- Proper load distribution
- Safe braking performance
- Optimal handling
