Mcnastyni Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 What wheel nuts do you use .... i have steel 15 inch rims on atm but the nuts don't seem to get enough of a grab on the studs when I put Volvo 17s on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sKiZo Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 What's the wheel offset on the Volvo rims as opposed to stock? Thickness of the rim at the holes? You're inviting all sorts of issues if you drive it like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Volvo vheels are usually close enough match (+/-10 mm offset). Make sure the center bore matches and if bigger, get an adjustment ring. Can’t go smaller but that’s probably not the case. Then pick the nuts according to the wheel (conical or flat). The ones with a washer are better for the wheel.

OLDSCHOOLFOOL Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 The center bore on Volvo wheel is 63.4 - 63.5mm, virtually identical. The wheel nut will depend entirely on the wheel itself. I am running Jaguar rims right now and had to get special short shank nuts (with the washers) to use. I have an older set of Volvo wheels and they use the 60 degree conical seat, but yours could be different. Perhaps you could post a pic of the wheel?

Gorilla has a wide variety to choose from. http://www.gorilla-auto.com/lug-nuts To Mrtn's point, this wheel probably has a center bore of 65.1mm and you probably should use a hub centric ring. The TC is 63.4mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDSCHOOLFOOL Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 These should work for you, assuming the shank length (.30") isn't too long. Gorilla Automotive 68631N E-T/Ultra Wheel Locks (12mm x 1.50" Thread Size) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I think you should get spikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnTroy Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 These are the lugs I use with the Volvo wheels on my TC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDSCHOOLFOOL Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The hub-centric rings are readily available on sites like Ebay or Amazon generally for about $10 or less for a set of four. You probably won't find them at your local parts store, but anything is possible. I prefer the aluminum ones myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Here is the OEM part, if it helps. But I am pretty sure that you will need something aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
