What does 44mm offset mean for the 2005 S40?
An offset of 44mm means the wheel's mounting surface is 44mm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your Volvo.
What is the center bore of a 2005 Volvo S40?
The factory center bore (hub bore) for the 2005 Volvo S40 is 67.1mm. If your aftermarket wheels have a larger hub bore, you will need hub-centric rings to prevent vibration.
