1996 Volvo 850R brake line/kit info help
Hi,
I need to get my brake lines replaced. My car has the 17" wheels. I am having a hard time finding anything listed for my car. Most are listed as 16" wheels. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Also if you have a recommendation for a brand/model please pass this along.
Thanks.

There are no special brake lines for 850's with different wheel sizes, they are all the same size. If you want the heavy duty lines with the braided steal outer shell you can purchase those.
Replacing the front lines is basic but the rear hoses are hard to get at and don't crack as often because they don't move around like the front lines. I only replaced the fronts on my daughters car.

If you had the bigger brake option 12"/302mm rotors on the front you might want the longer hoses that go with them but as Rspi said, everything is same same in the front irregardless of wheel size on all the stock 11"/280mm rotors.
