Default Will 15" wheels fit....

Will the stock GLT 15" 6 spoke wheels fit on the 850R I'm getting? I picked up a set of those wheels for my wagon, but I was thinking of keeping them and installing snow tires. But, if they won't fit, I'll just go ahead and put them on the wagon before I sell it.

Thanks!

Assuming that the calipers and rotors on the R are no bigger than the base model they should fit.
I say if you can try them real quick one front, one back.
What wheels are coming on the R?

I run the same 15" wheels that are on my V70 on my R in the winter. They actually ride much smoother and no rubbing.

You take the wheels off your wifes car for the winter? That's kinda rude! How can she drive anywhere?

Thanks for the input. I'm glad to know they fit. I picked these wheels up for $10 each from my local junkyard. They're straight with barely any curb rash. They had a set of 16" 850 turbo wheels the other day. I didn't have my tools when I went, so I ran back to the shop to get some. 20 minutes later when I got back, they were already gone!!! They were in perfect shape, too....all straight and no curb damage at all!

I purchased a set of 15 inch wheels for my 1997 Volvo 850-R here...

I am running with 15 x 6.5" Lysithea on BFGoodrich Traction T/A P205-60-HR15 (instead of stock size P195-60-R15)
