Vredestein Quadtrack 5 in 205/55-16

Should look pretty close to the Volans with another 1.2" of sidewall height.

Actually as I continue to work on wrapping my brain around all of this, it looks like even if I did manage to get 15s on here, I would only gain 2/10ths of an inch of sidewall height: Snap 2018-07-26 at 08.11.05.jpg However if I go with the 16s and put 205/55/16 tires, I increase my sidewall height ...

OK it appears that the 850 and s60 both share a center bore size of 65.1: https://ozvolvo.org/discussion/1105/volvo-wheel-fitment-guide says: 850, S70, V70, S60, XC70 5x108 / 5x4.25 35-50mm 65.1mm So I have a 16" wheel that is 5x108 with a 43mm offset and 65.1 center bore. I should be all good ...

I agree that it would change the appearance of the car considerably but the reason I don't see it as insane is the fact that for 15 years I have spent thousands on replacing tires and wheels on this car. I have gone through 9 bent Volan wheels so far, not to mention the very short tire life I have e...

Earlier post about some 16s, but now I am wondering if any 15" wheels will fit on my 1996 850R that has now bent 9 rims and blown multiple tires? Is anyone running any OEM 15s on an R?

Hoping someone can help me out here. I have a 96 850R wagon with 17 Volans and 205/45zr17 tires. Have had this car for quite a while, and in that time have gone through a total of 6 replacement wheels and multiple blown tires. Noticed a tire bubble the other day at only 15,000 on the fronts, and the...

So for the experts, I have read a bunch of threads on timing belt / cam seal replacement and have a couple of questions. Is some sort of cam pulley lock or holder required for this job? I have seen several used including a variety of hacked together tools. I have been looking at these: This seems po...

Yeah I suppose if the check itself breaks, that is something I can fix. Unfortunately I don't have a welder, so I have a client that has a body shop taking care of it for me. Thanks for the reply.

I have the popping drive door on our 1996 850R wagon. Found the metal broken around the place where the door check attaches to car itself (not the door side). I am getting it repaired next week via welding. The body shop guy didn't think the check itself was broken, but I believe I saw some posts wh...
