You can either check out tirerack, or search for anything with a 5x108 bolt pattern.
If you go here,
http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp
You can input the stock values vs the aftermarket wheels you want. It'll give you a rough estimate on weather or not the wheel with work with your vehicle.

Hey there...
I believe the 18" Midir wheel will fit from the FWD S40 T5 and it comes in two styles. Both are very good-lookin wheels. You can see the Midir wheel on the volvo website under the interactive gallery section for the S40.

Tirerack's wheel choices for our cars is limited and crappy imo...

Volvo cars will only go up to 17" if it's an AWD.
I'm waiting for my 2010 S40 T5.... Should be here around late Aug.
Got mine from the Jaguar/Land Rover/Volvo military sales over in the UK (RAF Lakenheath)
Are you @ Ramstein?

Re: (USAF 2010 T5)
I'm AWD and currently have 19x8" wheels with 235/35/19 tires, and have had 19x8.5" in the past without problems, and I am lowered with the blue Evolve springs (1.5" F and 1.4" R drop). I like the looks of 19"s the most, but 18"s are the best compromise between performance and looks for our cars.

I was just making sure the OP didn't get confused and think the AWD Volvos can't have any wheels larger than 17"s. The way the sentence was worded I wasn't sure if you meant stock or any wheels. Thanks for the CLARIFICATION.

You may want to talk to your military sales agent again, I never checked on my V50 but I know other models have other factory wheel options available, here's a link with a few of the options and as its says that's not everything that is available for the military sales.

Agreed. Thats why I said screw that, and just got a set of 18's with the right bolt pattern and offset http://********************/smile/emthup.gif
As long as it clears the brakes, and doesn't rub the fender wall, you're butter.

But also, 8" wide tires give the car a really nice aggressive look. I hate how some S40's come with 7" tires (or are they smaller?), and it makes the car look wimpy from the back side. Just my opinion.
So while you may be looking at rim diameter, also pay attention to the width.

18s will work, check out what Volvo offers, specifically for the S40/V50: http://vccs.volvocars.se/acces...t.htm
I have the Medusas and like them.
