Wheel Inter-change for 70 series (1999 V70 FWD)

Post by GlennKorec »

Could someone shed some light on wheel interchange for Volvo models. I have a 99 V70 FWD and a 98 S70 FWD and have a chance to buy new snow tires with new black painted steel froms from a Volvo 940. Will these wheels fit? As I understad the offset may be different. Also what other rims of the volvo family will fit our 70 series cars?
I also know that around 1994 the 850s went from a 4 hole lug to 5 lug. It would be nice to pick up some spare rims with tires for changing out each fall/spring.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks,

No
Offset is way wrong
Almost every wheel from 1994-2000 850/70 series and 2001-2007 P2 series will work but not from a rear drive car

The 95-98 960/s90/v90 share that wheel offset if you were to find tires and wheels off one of those.

I have a nearly duplicate topic here: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... =1&t=36732

Does this mean that my 850R would swap with a V70XC?
