The offset is within reason and the centerbore is about 2mm larger, which would require hub-centrics, but other than that they look like they should fit. Anyone have any experience here or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

MDK here. If you're referring to the 6 spoke 15" wheels. Hmm you can put 2001 and up onto 90's model cars/ wagons. But not the other way .. won't clear the hub bearing
Believe that. Been there. I have a 1998 XC 70 that I put 2003 S60 AWD onto. However 215-45-17 is as big as you can go. More than that it will rub the front struts. I don't know if you can do this to a front wheel drive vehicle
The xc70 sits about an 1" higher...

It is an AWD but I am running 17" S60 wheels on my 2000 P80 'R' with 225.45.17 tires. Biggest issue you have to watch for is the rear wheels (mine have a 49mm offset) snag at full extension on the rear sub-frame. Fronts clear but I know some folks have issues with tires rubbing on front inner fenders. Also with FWD car you have to make sure the tires and rims clear the parking brake cables due to the angle the enter the rear hub. AWD come in perpendicular to the rear hub at the back so they are ok.

Careful how tall a tire you use or you could foul on the front struts as MDK mentions.

You will have to use centering rings. There was a thread a while back with someone having terrible wheel vibrations and turned out they had larger center bore than the hubs so would not center evenly. Center rings fixed it.
