There are definitely lots of Ford / Mopar / AMC wheels out there that will work fine, but none I know of that will take the stock Volvo hubcap.

There's an outfit in California that widens wheels, but I don't know about back east, sorry.

7" wheels can fit, depending on the backspacing. They have to clear the trailing arms in the rear. What you want to be careful of is the weight of the wheels and tires, which can go up pretty quickly with size. More weight means slower acceleration and longer braking distances.

All the steering boxes have the same ratio, but it's the huge steering wheel that makes it feel slow.
