Talking T5 alloys

Can I fit 16 inch 850 T 5 wheels to my 01 V70 T5. Currently on 17's but they are knackered.

This site ( https://www.wheel-size.com/size/volvo/850/1995/ ) suggests that they will fit. The thread on the wheel nuts looks to be different but as long as you use the wheel nuts from the V70 you should be fine - just check that the shoulder on the wheel nuts looks to be the same profile as on the 850 ones.

If they go over your front brake discs then should be OK.

You can check on willtheyfit.com to see a nice visual comparison on tyre/wheel changes.

Depends on what discs are fitted. If it's been upgraded to 320+ then you need 17s. Anything smaller should be 16s
