Which Volvo wheels fit the 5 stud 850

[wayne509]

Sorry if there is a definative list somewhere and i have missed it, but i have tried searching and have just baffled myself.
Do the V70/S70 wheels fit? S40/V40? Any newer stuff?

I'm on the look out for some 17's soon (can't afford to replace tyres on 18's), preferably something with a 5 spoke pattern. Any suggestions?

7.5 x 17" S80, S60, V70 all these will fit the 850.

I have 17" Tethys on mine.

Also try this link for the styles of wheels you could try, all genuine Volvo.

No worries matey HTH.

Save the link in your browser favourites, you'll be reccomended loads of different wheels, this will help you know what they are, Tethys, Volans, or the Thor seem to be popular.

Best of luck matey.

Saved;).
Not too much for sale though is there. Been on E Bay,pistonheads local sites but no joy. Not got the money right now anyway but looks like it could take a while to get a set i like.Might just wait till my tyres are nearly done and get a set of 17" peg reps

Try Adam @ Readview on here, theres loads of wheels sat up at his place, he is breaking an 850R @ the mo, with the Pegs on it.

Also theres Nads on here or Ebay. i think he's down Birmingham way.

Then theres seasidevolvo or volvoguy25 their both on Ebay SSV is in Blackpool or VG25 is in Manchester, theres also SWautos dan saff mate! lol sorry couldnt resist it, my apologies to all southeners.

[y2blade]

That is spot on mate, + also the 5 stud mondeo wheels fit as well.

So theres plenty to choose from, but dont do what i did and buy dodgy aftermarket ones, they suck!!!!!

Stick to Genuine Volvo ones.

I believe these are called Persus, they are 16" and were fitted to some 850's (AWD??) Pretty rare, and a nice alternative to the normal T5 rims.

Yeah they are Persus 16", My old 96 T5 had them and they looked the dogs danglies against the Ferrari red paint, a shame they didnt do them in a larger size though.

See the piccy of my old T5 in the thread below, it'll give you an idea of what they look like on the car.

Cameron, That red 850 looks a bit tasty and I like the Tethys on the white one. I'm after some Comets for my 97 V70.

Cheers Matey, the Red 855 T5 CD was a beast of a car, it was an auto and had a documented History about 6 inches thick and a proven by dyno read out 320bhp, in an auto !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i never done any mods to it, it was like that when i got it, it had everything, even sat nav in the dash, it was awesome!!! i loved it but it loved a brick wall more, backwards !!!!

The Brake hose nearest the res split and dumped all the fluid on the road, not good, the wall come off worse though, lol. it needed a new rear axle so it went to the big car park in the sky!

The White 855 is my pride and joy, i love it, Rica'd, Manual, 7 seats, almost every extra, im trying to get it as fast as the Red one, still a bit to go on that one though.

[cameron]

Wayne if you still want the 16" Persus this guy is breaking a T5 with them on, worth a shout!

Thanks for that mate. Much appreciated:B_thumb:
I am flogging a set of 16 inch Perfo's which fit the 850 with the 302 mm brake conversion (variously described as plolice spec etc etc bah blah). Original fitment to V70 T-5's, designed to aow better cooling and bigger brakes.
Good nick four wheels, two tyres with 4.5-5mm on them the other two are not worth paying carriage on though I still drive them everyday.
PM me if interested. Unless this post gets oued first!!
