Hi all,
My sister has a '96 850 with 15" aluminum wheels. I found a set of used 16" steel wheels from a V70 with 205/55/16 winter tires mounted on them. I am wondering if the bolt pattern is the same on 850, and if the tires would clear the fenders properly.
I am not sure if the OD is the same, (between the 15" and 16"). I can't remember what tire size is on her car right now.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
hiya there, To answer your question the offset is indeed the same from the my94 850 through to the end of the s70./v70 so fitting would be no problem unless you go for 18 or 19inch wheels.

As you can see, the rims should fit without any problems. Not sure about the tires though. The 205/55/16 is 2.7% taller than 195/60/15. I guess you won't know for sure unless you test-fit it, but it's probably going to work OK.

Thanks Pete, but are the offset the same for the 760/850/S70? Since the S70 is a FWD, the offset may be different, although, I'm not 100% sure of that.
