Hi all, i've been a long time lurker of the site(located in Palm Beach, Florida)
I've been googling bolt patterns and fitment for more than an hour...

I have a '97 Volvo 850 T5 (5x108) stock Colombas 16x5,

would like to put a set of '01 MB E430 (5x112) Offset: 37mm, width:17, diameter:8

Or wheels from an '01 Infiniti I30T(Nissan Maxima/Cefiro) (5x114.3) Offset: 45mm, width:17, diameter:7

From what I understand, wobble bolts are unsafe.
Would wheel adapters be okay, especially with my statham-like driving every once in awhile.

I found this website that makes adapters:
http://www.wheeladap...el_adapters.php

I'm also unsure if the offset of either wheel would make them stick out the fenders unbearably.

Thanks for any reply.

I think that may be to much of a step, I use 5 x 110 on my car and have done for the past 2 years with no problems.

Many thanks for your reply. I got a few ideas from another site, i'll call a company called Motorsport-Tech when it's time to install.

Hopefully it'll be a smooth/easy upgrade.
