Size of wheel spacers 90 240
Ok, I have a set of 16x7 rims with 6 inch offset to the inside. I have a 90 volvo 240. Basically I have jacked it up and done some measuring and as far as I can tell I am thinking I need 2 inch spacers? Does this sound correct. These wheel were given to me and are off a jaguar the bolt pattern is the same. Thanks for any advice.

on the wheels you should find a stamping ETxx ie ET40 or ET20 - that indicates the offset. The Volvo 240s run a 20mm offset (ET20), which is typical of RWD cars (ie 10 to 20 mm). Most FWD and AWD cars run 35-50mm offsets (example 850/V70s are ET40). Do you know which year/model Jag the wheels came from? that can tell you the factory set up for bolt pattern (ie 5x108), center bore (65.1mm is what I think the 240 has). A quick check and I saw most 2000+ year Jags run 5x108s with a 63mm center bore and 40-50mm offset so you'd be looking at a 25mm or so spacer, plus the spacer would need to accomodate the center bore since most newer cars are "hub centric" - meaning the hub centers the rim, not the lug bolts....

Volvo 240/740/940 uses ET20 offset. so you'll need 30mm spacers to mount your et50 jag wheels on the volvo
16" rims are going to make a 240 pretty harsh, and those are *WIDE* rims for that body, you'll likely need a big tire to match the outer diameter of the stock 185/70-14's, something like 205/55-16, I think. which, actually, is what I have on my 740T wagon, and are in fact too harsh for the bad roads around here.
