Peugeot and Volvo ones seem to be a similar size. Certainly I've seen a set of Peugeot wheels on a Xantia as they had the lion on them.

I retrofitted Xantia alloys to my 1994 Xanti, and installed low profile Kumho tyres. Picked up about 10% improvement in limits of adhesion over the original Michelins in both wet and dry, but fuel consumption went up by about 10% too, due to extra rolling resistance of the wider sticky tyres. In retrospect, I wouldn't bother, since the 14" michelins performed well enough to blow off all but the supercars through the mountains and the cost per mile in tyre wear is about the same.
