Default Turbo Virgo Rims Fit '84 240 DL?

Hello all! New here and just acquired a manual 2-owner 1984 240 DL with 203K miles and in great condition. It's electrical was already replaced and the family that sold it did so for just $2K. It's been one of my favorite rides since I used to slow roll in it using cheat codes on Need for Speed.

It has the stock wheels but I absolutely love the look of of the Turbo's Virgo rims.

Does anyone know if those will fit the '84 240 DL? Can I use the same lug nuts? Do they use the same tire size?

For bonus points: Any pointers on where I could find an OEM roof rack or one that would look good? Tying my best to avoid pulling a Yakima on top.

Thank you for the help and I love my ride!

Yes those wheels will fit on any 240. They are 15 inch wheels versus the steel 14 inch so new tires will be needed and while the plain 240 lug nuts will work - buy a set of chrome ones.

Due to the design of the wheel - tire installation is easiest with the wheel mounted upside down in the tire machine - so make sure whoever mounts your tires does not damage the visible part of the wheel.

yep Volvo RWD cars pretty much all use the same wheel bolt pattern ie 5x108 and offet 20mm give or take depending on rim size (note FWD and AWD volvos use the same bolt pattern and mostly the same center bore but those will typically have a 40-45mm offset. If you want to see the recommended tire sizes for your new rims, check out wheel-size.com which lists all OEM rim sizes and factory recommended tire sizes.
