Default 16" Htdra's on 745 w/ ABS?

For 16" Hydra wheels, does it matter that my '92 745 has ABS. Will they fit? Thanks, C.

they fit perfectly.

case in point...


1992 745 Turbo, with ABS

This car came with "Aries" 15", 2 were badly bent, so I needed new wheels anyways. decided I'd as soon buy 4 Hydras as 2 Aries, and I managed to sell the straight 2 Aries for a decent price, so it was win-win.

Using 205/55HR16 Michelin Primacy MXV4. These are VERY hard to make slide on this car, they have awesome rain traction too. It doesn't snow here, so I have no idea about that.

Just installed IPD sway bars, front lower brace, bilstein tc (touring) shocks, and new ball joints, steering tie rods, all front and most rear bushings. Used mostly Volvo OEM bushings, except SuperPro on the front lower cone bushings (probably a mistake, they are a bit harsh) and rear panhard rod. Car now drives like its on rails, yet still has a good ride, even on the nasty bumpy roads around here. Body lean on hard corners is totally neutralized. I found myself apexing on a notorious local interchange known as the Fishhook at way over double the marked 20MPH and grinning from ear to ear, turbo hitting full boost as I straightened out
