Default Alloys for the old girl

Hi everyone
nice to be with people that appreciate decent motors! I'm after a bit of help with my old girl. She's a 1998 v70 2.0 petrol. She's on steel rims but I'd like to treat her to some nice alloys. Not to boy racer her but just make her look even more lovely.
so my question is what alloys will fit? There are loads about but I don't know if they'll go on. Will 've wheels fit, will be fit etc?
Thanks for looking

Rims from other 850/60/70/80 model Volvos prior to 2008 should work. Check out wheel-size.com for the specs but the V70 will have the 5x108 bolt pattern, an offset of ET43 (may require ET49s for wider wheels) and 65.1 mm center bore. The 5x108 bolt pattern and 65.1 center bore is common to the mid sizes starting with the 1994 850s and stayed that way until 2008 or so when the center bore was reduced to 63.4mm (the S40 went to this smaller size starting with the 2004.5 Gen 2s so none of the S40s rims will work for you. The offset will vary with rim width thus the handy web site guide.
