1996 850R Rims Needed

wackenhut · Post by **wackenhut** » 05 Feb 2018, 08:30

Does anyone know where I can find some used volans?
Unfortunately I cracked 3 of them

Also, if I just needed some rims...what can be used as substitutes for now?
I believe my size is 205 45 17

Would s70 rims work?

Thank you.

Volans are 17x7, so any Volvo 17x7 wheel with 43mm offset and 5x108 pattern should work fine. Check Craigslist and eBay.
Any S70/V70/C70 wheels are a direct fit. Most all Volvo wheels are, actually.

iPd has a wheel cross-reference chart that is quite helpful: https://www.ipdusa.com/techtips/10128/v ... -reference

Were you trying to find the source of the Nile ?

its the Crocs down in FL - they chomp on the wheels when you stop at the lights. They are even tougher on the CV Gaiters...gators?

Thank goodness the winter in Alberta kills off the crocs- or at least the people who wear them in public

S60 & S80... too...they have offset of 49,but as long as you stick with 205 width tyres...they will fit fine.
About offset...factory offset is 43,but everything between 35-49 will fit fine.

look at the thread for phase one alloys in the wheel and tire forum, 15s and 16s will also work if you have "normal" brakes. As for the S60 and S80 wheels, check hub diameter too, you may need adapters.
