Interchangeability of Volvo rims

The bolt pattern is the same, aside from the first year of the 850 which used 4 bolt rims, but the offset is different in the FWD cars so the rims are not interchangeable without hokey spacer plates.

So, if I understand you correctly, the offset of my Virgo rims off the

Nothing is ever easy.

You need spacer plates to put 850 rims on a 240, if you put 240 rims on an

Spacers are a custom made part, there are some safety concerns with them, as well as wheel bearing wear, but some have run them without problems, in this case though it sounds like you're considering the opposite swap so spacers won't help.

So I guess I won't be using my 240 rims any time soon. I've since been told that the same bolt pattern and offset can be found on the Ford Taurus and Mercury Cougar so cheap steelies might still be found!

Thanks James.

First problem you'll run into is the lug studs aren't long enough. Wanna pull the hubs and press in longer studs?

Some of the spacers have their own studs, they're offset from the holes that bolt to the existing studs. These are for putting 850 rims on a 240/740 though, not the other way around. 200/700 rims will likely rub the wheel wells if installed on an 800 series.
