I went to the dealer and bought some 19-inch OEM takeoff wheels for the new XC60 Recharge. What a bargain.

Brought them home and realized that they pre-facelift 55mm offset whereas the new XC60 is 50.5.

I'm inclined to return, but wondering if anyone had thoughts on the difference.

55mm never existed for the XC60
But there is an 8Jx20 ET52.5 version and I think the 55mm might fit

ET55 exists for the Volvo V60 Cross Country II
8Jx20 ET55
8Jx19 ET55

P3 XC60s all had 55 offset, which I assume is what the OP means by pre-facelift.

If you like them and got a good enough deal, you can probably just run a 10mm spacer.

That is such a small difference - I think you'll be fine.

Pre-facelift is 2018-2021 XC60 SPA

P3 is a totally different platform

I’m aware, but if OP has 55 offset wheels it’s way more likely they’re off a P3, and people often make the mistake of confusing facelifts and platforms.

Apologies for the confusion over my reference to pre-facelift. I'm a Volvo noob.

I'll probably just return them rather than deal with spacers. Yeah, the 4.5 mm difference isn't huge, but it's a new car and I'm a little OCD.

Yowzer, it's hard to find affordable takeoffs.

Good idea.
If you were to run them without spacers, there's a good chance of vibration.

Where did you come to this conclusion, do you know when and why vibrations occur
I have never heard in my life that vibrations occur due to different ET of 2.5 or 4.5 mm
Please explain to me how I don't have these vibrations on my Alfa Giulia, they use different ET on the front and rear wheels
8.5Jx19 ET34
10Jx19 ET41
Or another example BMW X3, uses
8Jx20 ET27
9.5Jx20 ET43

As an example, I took the dimension 8Jx20 ET52.5 that Volvo uses on the XC60
In this case, there is only one thing, and that is the tire is 2.5 mm closer to the suspension components. The rim is 2.5mm closer to the suspension components and brake support will be closer to the rim, just need to make sure they don't touch each other
Acceptable for most cars

I was referring to CB, not offset.

I think the center bore (CB) reference is due to some spacers not being hub centric. If they are not centered perfectly you can get vibration. I had that issue before and fixed it by getting better quality hub centric spacers.

If you use a spacer to correct a ET difference just make sure it is hub centric.

Here is an example showing the center bore ring to keep the wheel hub centric on these H&R spacers.
