will these fit an 850 estate james?

are you up for an offer? do you have any of the centres?

Hi Jay,

Yes they will, but you may run into the scrubbing issues (on full lock) which you have with any wide wheels on the FWD cars. You might find you need to fit the rack stops from a C70 to avoid that.

Offers will certainly be considered - let me know what you're thinking, and we'll take it from there.

Another option we're looking at would be to have them refurbed. The place we're using doesn't do a perfect job of removing all of the pitting caused by kerb marks (i.e. they don't weld or use filler), but it's under half the price of a typical refurb, and gets them looking as-new from standing height. I've been very happy with what they did on my both sets of my V70's wheels. Alternatively, you could do a DIY job, or get an A1 job done by a more expensive professional than our place.

We don't have centres (other than "TSW" caps which go right in the middle), but any of the TSW "System R" caps fit, and these are fairly common. A lot of the Ford guys run these (and the other System R wheels) without the caps, though.

I can bring them to you for you to have a look without obligation if you're interested, especially if you're not in a rush. I should be passing in 2-3 weeks.

cheers

James

thanks for the reply james.. i originally fancied a set of tsw hockenheims but like the imolas also... im not familiar with the c70 lock stops as thia is my first volvo .. what other cars use the correct offset and stud pcd to fit an 850?? thanks for all your help...jay

Hi Jay,

The wider the wheels fitted to the car, the thicker the 'limiters' put on the rack to prevent rubbing. It makes the turning circle worse, but helps prevent rubbing. It only really matters if your MOT station are super-fussy, as several of the FWD Volvos have VOSA notes out re: rubbing (i.e. they can ignore it).

Various Fords, Jaguars and Peugeots are 5x108. I'm not sure about the offset, other than that Phase 2 cars (S60, V70, S80, etc) are close enough to be interchangeable. These Imolas were bought for a mk3 Mondeo, but they fit P1s (850, etc) and P2s nicely.

Let me know if you'd like a look at them, and I'll stick them in the car next time I'm heading past Oxford.

cheers

James
