Is this even possible to get adapters to make a set of Porsche or MB rims work on a S70? I think I've seen Porsche rims on these cars once before by a member here. What would be required to make either work?

Kevin (volvotool) put a set of Porsche Twists on his 98 V70 T5 - it can be done but it does require adapters. See the thread here for info.

A good knowledge of offsets, the right sized tires and some adapters. How about a little more information on the wheels you're trying to fit?

In order to get anything to fit right, make sure you're good with the a search wrench.

It can't be done... cough... http://www.motorsport-tech.com/ ...you'd be crazy to do adapters or stretch tires or do anything but Pegasus and BBS wheels...

I'm kidding, but just giving you a preview of what's to come.

I use www.airbagit.com for air ride and www.motorsport-tech.com for custom adapters and I like them both

Exexpats look killer. Hard to find the right offset. You need to get your hands on whats called a Hollander Book. Btw Ex... That is my Favorite color to paint. I could Blend Curb rash on those wheels so good, you would never ever see it.
