I fitted Volvo Rigels (alloys) on my 240 shod with 195/65/15 tyres - off a 760

so far as I know 240s came with 14 inch steels and 15 inch alloys (and maybe earlier ones had other variations)

If you think about it, it's not the wheel size that really matters, it's the tyre aspect ratio. Your 240 tyres have taller walls than the 940 tyres (70% vs 65%). The change may very marginally affect the gearing/speedo reading and they will also affect the ride quality

There are loads of web resources where you can punch in different tyre widths, heights and wheel diameters to see what difference it makes in terms of gearing/speedo reading as well as looks

Should be no issues. good luck
