I currently have 15inch alloys on my V70 but they make the wheel arch look empty! I have the chance to buy some 17inch alloys off a stacked T5 and am wondering whether they will fit without any modifications to the disc brake set up as I see there are discs for both 15 and 17's. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, As 17" was an option for the V70 I would say that you should be able to fit 17" wheels with out issue. However, have a look here where you can view you car with different wheels. It may help you: .... As for brake disks, with bigger wheels you could change the current disks to new, bigger ones should you so wish... Des. . . ;)

if your taking the wheels off the T5 why not take the hubs and discs too that way if anything is differant then u will have the bits to change it over my V70 has 17 inch wheels on it, i think the only problem ul find is the tyres rubbing

As long as the stud pattern is the same, ie 4 or 5 stud, most likely 5, you'll be fine. As with most wheel/tyre fitments, what you put on the wheel circumference you take off the profile of the tyre. Hope this helps!

Don't you also need to be concerned about 'offset' too??? Probably not an issue in this case, but it's more than just making sure the stud pattern matches...
