Default Volvo 940 Wheel/Suspension Help

Hello all, hopefully you all can help me out because due to some research online I can't find a definitive answer. My current wheel set up is Voxx MGA 16x7 wheels with 205/55/16 tires. I've had my 93 Volvo 940 for almost 10 years and want to change the look of the current wheel set up. I have IPD lowering springs that were purchased a few years ago and never got around to installing them.

Question: Will Ocean MK18's fit with IPD Lowering Springs Front & Rear without any modification? I want to stay away from Spacers, rolling fenders ext... any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again!!!!

from what I can find, the MK18s have a 6mm offset and are a 8.5 inch rim. So the rim width alone will move the outer lip 3/4 of an inch closer to the fender (and to the strut) versus a stock 7 inch rim. If I recall, stock factory offset is 25mm so going from 25 mm to 6 mm is another 3/4 of an inch. that adds up to say your inward clearance is unchanged but the rim will be 1 1/2 inches closer to the fender.

https://redblocksociety.com/products...32431304343636 - this ad suggests they will bolt right on with no issues. hmmm. Google around Ocean MK18 and you should find some posts on various boards.
