compatible wheels for an 850

Anyone know if Volvo's Caligo wheels will fit on a '96 850 base model?

It depends what they were fitted to. From what I can see they were only fitted to P1 chassis Volvos (C30/s40/V50/C70) from about 2004-. They have a 63.4mm center bore where your car has a 65.1mm. So on that alone you would need adapters to make them fit.
Also the max offset I would recommend is 49mm, (standard is 43mm) to prevent rubbing. Being a FWD you have to check the inside of the tire does not rub on the parking brake cable just forward of the rear wheels. I believe the offset on these is 52mm.

That information should be on the rear of the rim.

The lug-bolt pitch is correct at 5 x 108mm

Thanks, Neil. Going to try and find spacers that will work. I'll leave an update for other 850 owners wanting to swap wheels when I get them installed.

Caligo wheels have ET 52.5 (offset).
850 have ET 43 and ET 49 is the highest offset that will fit with 205-50 or 55/16 on 850.

Plus....center bore is wrong on Caligo wheels.It is 63.4 and 850 have 65.1.

Those wheels will NOT fit on 850,s,v,c,xc70.

Neil allready gave all info you need.

Thank you, Misha and Neil. Sure enough, there are no spacers that can make the Caligo's work on an 850. Looks like I'm out a few $.

Sucks i had to pass on a set of newer volvo rims because of the center bore was smaller

. They seem to share the same bore as fwd fords :/
