850 15" rims.

No, the offset is different. The other way around will work with spacer plates, but you can't go this way.

Thanks James. Too bad. Snow's forecast for our area. Wish I still had my '58 445 wagon ("Duet"). Semi-elliptic rear suspension with a few hundred pounds of rocks in a box in the back.... Old style heavily lugged "snow tires".........Could go anywhere.

Could pick up a 145, they're still not too hard to find, good solid cars with a classic feel, and those rims will fit.

Not "145", James.............. "445"! That wasn't a typo. Try Googling "Volvo 445". (Mine was a '58.)

Yeah I know, just saying you can pick up a 145 more reasonably, it's an neat old car, and those rims will go right on. I don't know if they'll fit a 445 or not, but one of those will be a lot harder to find and likely need a lot more work. Neat cars too though.

Thanks James. I misunderstood your remark about the 145. I should have known better, having been impressed with your encyclopedic knowledge for some time in these posts.
