Is a 15" wheel an option for your car? It will depend on the size of front brake rotors you have. .if they are 280mm dia. you should be ok. If you have 302mm rotors the rims will foul on the calipers. Best to remove a front wheel and and see if they fit.

If they are OE volvo rims they will have on the back the fitment data. Offset should be in the range of 26-49mm. The closer you get to 49mm, the more likely the rims are to rub on anything like the inner fender liners on the front and the rear parking brake cables in the rear. I have 17" S60 rims on my car. The center bore is the same up to 2009 on S60's.

Shame you were not closer as I have 2 spare 15 P80 rims with snow tires I don't need.

Not sure exactly which wheel you have, but I put on 15" rims from an S60 on to my 1994 850 and the fit was fine. I put P205/55/r15 tires on them as well, so bit wider than stock.

You need to check the brake rotor size. I don't think an 94 850 came with the larger rotors as an option. The C70, especially in 04 year (last year) may have had the larger rotor as standard, especially in HPT engine version. If you have an LPT engine it may not have the larger option rotors. Volvo does lots of weird stuff in the final years of model runs to use up spares kicking around.

Pull a front wheel and measure a rotor/trial fit a 15" rim, or call the dealer and ask what rotors are fitted to your car.

Newer models have rims with 50-52 ET and they can't fit on p80 cars without spacers.Also some newer models have a different central bore.

Oops, thanks for picking this up misha. Finger trouble with the keyboard. Should have read 36-49mm, some websites say 38-49mm offset.
