Does anyone know why they wont fit the 850..what is the difference? Is it spigot ring size or is a spacer needed...nice wheels..getting desperate now for wheels!!!!

Yeah because they will fit a Focus as the offsets are all totally wrong for the 850's and as he says all other Volvos.

The pcd and off-set are in range but the center bore is about 2mm smaller. :slap:

Always thought the off set was the problem, didnt know about the centre bore, learn something new everyday! Shame though as their nice wheels.

Centre bore of these alloys are 63.3 if im correct. 850/70 series need 65.
Bolts should be M12 x 1.5. 850/70 series use m14 x 1.5.

Not for me if the price is right lol Bruce Forsyth just sprung to mind then, cant stand that bloke, anyway, what actual difference will a et52 actually do? Can anyone post a link of how offset actually works, cheers.
