The Volvo 200/700/900 Alloy Wheels page covers most of the wheels made by Volvo, but I found the Sweden Auto Warehouse wheels page, and I discovered that there were/are a ton of wheel choices for Volvo cars. I'm guessing that many are for FWD cars and therefore would require spacers to be used on the 240s, but nearly all could fit. I'm not so sure about this wheel, however:

If you look at the "alt tags" for the pictures on that page, that wheel is listed as a 18x7.5! Is that the correct size? Does anyone know the name of that wheel? The part number is 9192142 or 9192143 and it's the sixth from the bottom, in left column.
If those wheels are authentic Volvo and were really used in the production cars, then I'm surprised to find out that Volvo made such a giant rim. As my previous knowledge had been based on the alloy wheels page, I thought the largest wheel was a 16-incher. Not only did I come across several 17-inch wheels, but the one above appears to be the largest ever!
Finally, on a 240, is rubbing likely/probable/certain? If those were used, that would be a very unique look!
