They should fit. You will probably rub at full lock.

S60s are known to have rubbing issues in the first place, sotry and make sure you are keeping the overall diameter of the tire the same. As for the lug pattern, I have no idea if it's the same between the two models, so I can't help you there.

Sweet lookin wheel BTW!

I have an '04 S60 R with the optional 18' Pegisus rims. She does rub when i turn the wheel to lock, but only in the one direction, and it has to be fully to lock. So yes they should fit with no major issues. Good luck with your choice.

You sure can put 18's on ur S60. I did the same not to long ago, i put 18" pegs from the s60R and they look great. the tires were 235/40/R18, but i was forced to go with a 225 tire in the front because it was rubbing at 3/4 lock. Now i can say the rubbing issue has decreased. 18's will look great on ur S60. Cant wait to lower mine.
