if by spike, you mean the locator pin, that unscrews from the brake rotors..

do note, Volvo rims are 'hub-centered', and not 'bolt centered', so if your new wheels aren't a snug fit around the center hub, you'll need a hub centering adapter

the wheel studs are threaded into the hub behind the disk rotor, it shouldn't be hard to replace them with longer studs. any shop that works on wheels and brakes should be able to do that.

well, volvo uses volvo wheel studs, I have no idea off the top of my head what thread size they are or how long as I've never needed to change one in a million miles of volvo driving

re: hub cenntering rings, measure the ID of the center hole on the volvo wheel, and on your aftermarket wheel, and note the profile of the inner edge of that hole too. if they are the same, you're probably OK.

I've always stuck with using Volvo wheels, like I put a set of Hydra 16" on my 740 wagon to replace the original 15" Aries, which had two bent rims.
