Default bolt pattern on a 240?

I have a 92 240 and would like to put some different wheels on it. What are the bolt patterns on these? Offset? Anything else I need to know?

I went to www.tirerack.com and they don't even show any wheels that would / might fit... which is why I'm asking.

5x108 ET20. That's 20mm offset. Volvo wheels kinda hard to find because of the offset.

I just went to 15" alloy, Voxx MG, from the stock 14" steelies. My original tires were 185R14 and my new ones are 205/65-15. Same diameter.

You could put other Volvo rims on your car. Other 5x108mm rims and then use spacers to make them fit and look right.

-Volans
-Pegasus
-Titan
Etc....

I have a set of VOXX MG's 17X8"(a bit on the heavy side)and TEAM Dynamic 15X7". I don't remember the name but they are very light.
They look like these but they must be discontinued
http://www.teamdynamicsracing.com/pr...1hpsilver.htm. I'd check them out too.

1 lbminuson the wheels = about8 to 10lbs unsprung weight.

Lowering theload also helps suspension components and brakes.

Go to discount tires direct for the Voxx wheelsand if you get tires with them they'll be installed for free. Also there is free shipping in the US.

Here is pic of my Volvo with the Voxx wheels on.

No pics yet, micah. I'll get some up in the next day or so. Meanwhile, discountdirect is running a sale on eBay, 5% off. That's $380 for 4 and free shipping. I've seen them as low as $350 but kick myself for not jumping on it. I paid $400, no shipping no tax.

Default Any issues with rubbing on your 240?

I just bought an 1989 240 wagon and would like to get 15" or 16" wheels. Do your Voxx MG's rub at all? How do they look? Thanks from Durham NC!

just note, i had 16's on my 740 T wagon, and the ride was significantly harsher than the stock 15's on said car. I Used Volvo "Hydra" wheel swhich were a turbo option, although mine didn't originally come with them. I swapped wheels because when I bought my 740, 2 of the 4 'Aries' original wheels were bent. added bonus, a few months later, I was able to sell the two straight Aries to a kid who had a 740 or 940 with 2 bent Aries, heh, win + win. they even still had usable tires on them, so I brought a floor jack and tire wrench and helped him swap his wheels around in the parking lot where we did the deal, and added his two bent wheels to my scrap metal collection (aluminum is actually worth something)
