Ok so my son would like to put bigger rims on his 1991 Volvo 240 sedan. What rims from other Volvo models will fit on this car?

 

Any rims that come from a RWD Volvo like a 940 740 760 960 should fit.

 

960 up to 1994. After that the rims have an offset like a FWD 850. Go figure!

 

Thanks.

 

stock on a 240 is 14". Largest factory rim on a 740/940 was 16", using 205/55-16 tires, and those seriously harsh the ride quality on bad roads. Thats what I have on my 740T, and I'm wishing I'd stayed with 15"

 

I used to have Hydras and Geminis on all my Volvos, switched to 15" Adharas and Dracos for that same reason.

 

of course, if this kid wants his old volvo to look like some MTV Ballers lowride, who are we to try and discourage him? I bet you could get 18's under there and run /35 tires that cost $400 each and lat 10k miles.

 

Yeah, well, I don't care to see Volvos molested that way...

 

I agree.


However as a recently returned Volvo enthusiast after 40 years working on MB and Citroen cars, there are things I need to know.


For example, I know that Volvo 960s like mine use either 15" or 16" wheels with an ET (offset) of 15mm.


I don't know how to find the other wheels because I am confused by the naming system for wheels. By this I mean the wheel might be called a 70183 or a Pegasus or be given a Volvo part number.


Where is the list of common wheels for the models and the basic specs INCLUDING offset?


Can anyone help?


Really, this would be a great sticky. The MB guys have this down to a science.


Thanks!
