A local wreckers should have some,ask if you can leave a deposit and borrow one to see if thell fit,I wanted to run them but the offset I was told
wouldnt suit,to far in.

Be aware that while they will bolt on,the shape of the pressing in the center of the rim will not always allow the rim to fit against some brake set ups correctly.
The center of the rim ,depending on model,does not sit flat against the disc,and can only be pulled in tight by warping and slightly deflecting the center of the rim when the nuts are done up tight.

Check them on the car before buying.

Also Check your caps will fit too J, the dish may cause issues. I ran a set on an LH Torana I picked up cheap once. Fitted with no problems.

what hubcaps?

J, If you want to run the early '47 caddy caps, They won't fit on volvo rims!
You are much better of having 15" outers mated to early centres and make sure you make them wide enough for the dish of the caddy caps, Next problem will be how low can you get with widened rims?
