Wheels - Offsets for V70 AWD V70-XC70

I have a '98 V70R with Meteor wheels and I am looking to purchase some new ones. I may purchase 4 new of same or different wheels (use new for summer tires, old for winter tires) or I may go cheaper route and buy 2 of the same Meteors to replace those with scrapes/chips.

In search for replacements, I have found confusing info. There are some sites that sell new wheels for Volvos that are duplicates of the factory styles. They are advertised as for FWD only (not for "R"-AWD) even thought they are the same style that came with V70-R-AWD (different styles for different years: '98 thru '00).

Anyway, what gives? I have emailed a few of these wheel vendors and I get less than confident response to whether they will work with "R" AWD.

Can anyone point me to source of info for the exact size (bolt pattern/size/spacing/offset) of factory Meteors (and other Volvo alloys; "R" or not), so that I can make an educated decision? Does anyone have experience with purchasing new/different wheels for V70 AWD models?

I will also entertain buying someone's wheels if they have some for sale.

Thanks,
