They'll fit, the early (phase one) V70's are virtualy identical to the 850's...bar the obvious cosmetic mods.

Well, they claim to be 305mm which MIGHT be an error - because it should read 302mm. And yes, I think they will fit because all V70/C70 gained 302mm discs - which 850 did not have at all. That said, it is easy to remove a disc and measure it - or else run a string round the circumference and divide it by Pi (3.142) to find your diameter.

it was pot luck on C70's as to which size they had. My local shop could only find 302's listed for S/V70R's

my opinion.... I have just (last week) ditched a pair of front drilled/grooved & rear drilled/grooved discs. NOT worth the money, don't stop as well as standard Volvo discs (brembo discs are great too).
I honestly think they are a waste of money. Not only do they not stop as well as standard discs, upon braking, they rumble & click. Never again would I fit such discs.
Simple....Don't do it.
