Re: Wheel question, Do 850's fit on 940's? (omega6_virus)
Well when I bought aftermarket rims I speced them at the shop to fit my car. The spacers just showed up in a bag in one of the rim boxes. The wheel is made to a certain offset and a spacer pushes the rim out ever so slightly for the 850 offset range. Perhapse buying an 850 rim without a spacer (as it was designed with proper offset already for the application) you will likely have to have a spacer fabricated. Although maybe you won't need one. Could be different but within the tolerances. I must say I've never seen a 940 with 850 rims but 850 rims are dear. My mom has a 940 and my dad picked up some aftermarket 15" five spoke rims of some kind. It was affordable and looks good. Myself I wouldn't buy 15"s. Maybe 16", 17"...18" <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://********************/smile/emsmile.gif" BORDER="0"><br>I'd go to a car shop or even a tire dealer if they sell rims and ask them to look up the specs, pretend your interested in there product if you have to, doesn't take long. Then shop around and see what screams "That's the one!". <br>For aftermarket stuff surf the net and email the sights that have a wheel your interested. I found a couple places that didn't advertise a fit for volvo in there application guide but actually can and will spec one out for you. Many places get in "blanks", wheels with no bolt pattern drilled in yet, anything is possible with those. I'd stay away from the cheep ones, my TSWs weren't exactly cheep (not OZ expensive though) and they are pretty soft. I've had them repaired once due to a manhole cover I didn't think was as narley as it turned out to be. Course I'm running a 40 profile. OEM rims are at least not as iffy in the metal. But for the price I can buy extra rims of my favorite style (which changes weekly) compared to the expensive OEM stuff which are usually dry and flat looking IMO. I think I'll always opt for steel wheels from the dealer, hopefully they can throw in winter tires! <br>
