Default Pics are up! and the rims fit!

I just picked up a set of 940 rims yesterday and assumed that since the bolt pattern was the same they would fit. Now that I was doing some research looking for center caps for them I realized that the offset for the T850 is high and offset for the 940 is medium. Will these rims fit? will I rub?

Additional info. Stock blades were 16 x 6.5

The 940 rims are 15 x 6 :s

I don't know. 940's are RWD, so they'll have a different offset.

haha. 850s were the first FWD Volvo. I think they're may have been a couple models before it, but I mean out of the 200, 700, 800, 900 series, 850's were the only FWD model.

thanks for the comfort gilber33 lol but I still feel like a major noob. Guess its a good thing I'm learning something new.

Anyways might as well give an intro, I literally just picked up the wagon last week 1996 Black Turbo 850 Wagon. I'll post pics as soon as I pick it up from the mechanic. Hopefully tomorrow, if the tires fit on and everything.

There's 130,000 km since there are few cdns here I should start measuring in miles. So that's...80 778 miles. Man and I just read that odometers tend to stop working. Didn't even check if that odometer was working... so I hope that's not why the car has so low mileage :S

Car test drove great, there's some oil underneath, mechanic said its from the turbo. I'll check the pvc thing tomorrow and hope all is well. Can't wait to road trip with this baby

odometers usually don't give out till high hundred thousands. Your turbo oil return line gasket may be bad, those are known to wear out, if so, it's a simple fix.

PICTARS!!

Easy diy fix. Two hex screws. That's it.

My '97 960 wheels fit fine on my '95 850. I put them on there while I was having my 850 wheels re-finished.
