I have 16" Persus wheels from the factory. Factory size was 205/50/16 but Volvo switched to 55 profile because owners were complaining about bent rims with 50 profile. All big Volvo's rims are interchangeable..some have ET 35...some 43...some 49. As long as you stay UP TO 49 you'll be fine. I have 2...

Why would you do that since hydraulic one is more durable?

5x108 ET 35-49 6-6.5J CB 65.1 All big Volvos use the same bolt pattern. Newer ones too but have higher ET...and as long as you stay up to ET 49 it is ok....ET 50 and higher will not fit. That said....p2 models can use all p80 rims but p80 can't use p2 rims in some cases. http://www.wheelfitment.eu/c...

Go to the junkyard and grab a steel spare rim with a tyre for cheap.

Although not really pretty, I usually have rags wrapped around the jack. That helps.

I use spongy cloth.

Was there not a recall on fuel tanks on early 850's?

Yes,but i guess that is only valid for U.S or Canadian market...EU didn't get this as far as i know.

...I do not know if the early 850s had metal or plastic fuel tanks...

All these cars have plastic fuel tanks...as far as i have seen...p2 also.

All P80s seem to have the same TPS... Carefull on this....don't forget that there are 10 & 20v cars(n/a) 2.0 and 2.5 that have totally different managements and sensors(LH 3.2 Jetronic & Fenix Siemens). Some of them have totally different o2 sensors(titanium vs. zirconium)...Map instead of Maf...et...

Nope...it's advantage.
I usually put some grease on wheel lugs when i change summer/winter set of tyres when the time comes.

It's a grease.
