Pegasus [R rims] on V40.. ever done before?

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum. I used to drive a Dutch made V40 2.0T from '01 years ago as a company car. Most likely going to order a new Belgian made V40 again later this year.
I'd like to know if someone already tried fitting original Volvo R Pegasus rims onto a V40??
As far as I can tell the boldpattern and hub size are the same between the V40 and the S60/V70. Rim width and ET might be different though.

I think they would look absolutely badass on a Rebel blue Rdesign!
Anyone any input..

These are them: http://volvovelgen.com/upload/image...ilver-velgen-nieuw-v70r-s60r-origineel(2).jpg

Cheers.

According to what the internet is telling me these should be the spec's:

V40
- Midir
Size: 7.5J x 18
PCD: 5x108
Bore: 63.4
ET: 52,5
All 16" and 17" rims have an ET of 50

V70R - Pegasus
Size: 8J x 18
PCD: 5x108
Bore: 65.1
ET: 46

This would mean a 0.85mm spacer for the centre hub and a ~5mm spacer to compensate for the offset...

Does anyone have any pictures of this rim under a V40? I searched far and deep, but no luck.

Thanks for posting the pics of your V40 with the 18 x 8 Pegasus rims. They look great.
They look clean and simple......
All the other rims offered by Volvo look too "Busy".
I just bought a V40 Cross Country (Biarritz Blue) here in Phuket Thailand.
Just this afternoon I saw the 18 x 8 Peg rims at a shop next door to the dealership here in Phuket.
Your info re the spacers is a great help.
After more than 25 years of driving SUV's and Pick-up trucks here in Asia and back home in Canada, I'm more than ready for my new V40. Can't wait to take delivery.
