I know for sure those will not fit Volvo has a very specific bolt pattern, its 5x108 not sure the other number that you might need to match but those 5x108 need to match for sure

You were just told
5 X 108
ET between 40 and 49 depending if you want to use spacers

You can mostly only fit Volvo wheels on these car, as mentioned above. Even from other recent Volvo models other than the V and the S40, as long as they clear the brake rotor (I think there is a 10" and a 11" rotors if I'm correct, the 11" will need 16" wheels and larger).

Thanks.
like i said im learning, i dont fully yet understand too much what all the numbers mean.
speaking of which what do the numbers 40-49 mean? And is it after 49 on whatever it is that i would need spacers?

To have equivalent wheels, they must have 5 wheel lugs and the distance between two near wheel lugs center is 108mm. Additionally, we need a center bore - the whole in the center of the wheel - to be a specific size because it goes on the bearing on the car which has a center ring of the same exterior size. There is also a matter of what size are the wheel lugs, length, diameter and filet pitch. Then we have the wheel offset, important because it needs to clear the brake caliper; also the wheel diameter.
There are a few sites explaining in detail with pictures all these parameters. Also site for each specific car with the available wheel sizes but these sites have sometimes errors http://www.wheelfitment.net/volvo

Centre bore is 65.1 mm on 2001 Volvo.
