No.
The tyre should fit on a Volvo steel wheel but the wheel itself has the wrong PCD and offset.

If you really want a part-worn tyre as a spare, look on ebay, there's any amount of them on there, already off the rims which makes carriage cheaper.
That way you only have to pay to have it put on your rim, rather than paying to have it removed from an alien rim and then onto yours. Unless you have your own manual tyre changer of course, or any other tyre changer for that matter.............

What's the date code on that tyre?
A new cheapy chinese tyre as a spare was only about £35 including fitting.

What size are your existing tyres?
You cannot mix sizes on the same "axle". |

My 1994 Wentworth came fitted with 185/65/15 but I am currently running it on 195/65/15 which some sources say are the correct size for an estate. I think the ride is slightly better with the larger tyres. They made the speedometer more accurate too. Obviously if you’re planning to change tyre size you will have to change all your tyres at the same time.

I'm seriously considering going up to 205/70/15 to further correct the speedo as it still reads about 8% over the speed i'm actually doing!
