Default wheels interchangable?

hey there folks, I just bought a 1999 S70. anyway, its got these 15' steel wheels on it that are fine, but I'm going to upstate NY this fall and I was wondering about winter tires. My dad has a set of 15' steel wheels that he took off his chrysler sebring, I think it was a 2000 or 2001. i was wondering if it'd be possible to use those wheels, put some snow tires on them and have them as a dedicated set, so that i could just swap out the winter for non-winter tires easily w/o going to a shop or something.

are the bolt patterns compatible? they are both 5-bolt, but volvos are swedish, so I dont really know. thanks for your help.

I don't think they will fit.

If they were Ford Taurus rims then they might.

Why not just put some snow tires on the stock steel wheels and get a new set of alloy rims in the spring? Then you can swap between the two sets with the change in seasons.
