I'm not aware of any wheels other than early Volvo solid wheels that can accept the large hubcaps. I had a customer that used Mercedes hubcaps, but he was an engineer and may have altered the hubcaps to fit.

Ever since the last manufacturer of high quality radial tires in the 2 sizes used on early Volvos, 165/70/R15 and 185/70/R15, Winstons closed over 15 years ago, I've recommended 185/65/15 or 195/65/15 sized tires depending on rim width.

Coker and Vredesteins make tires that fit, but they are expensive, their tire ratings are low and if you need replacements, almost nobody stocks them so they have to be special ordered.

You can get my recommended tires almost everywhere.
