    will the rear brakes of a t5 fit on a awd car? as there on the opposite side as in t5 caliper is on the left side of the disc as you look at it and the awd is on the right?

    T5 discs are 295mm as are most 850 rear disks, providing the size is the same they should fit yes and the hubs etc are the same
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

    You are right, the AWD 850 has 283mm discs not the larger 295mm discs fitted to the FWD cars. Therefore they will not fit,

    If afraid I couldn't answer that without guessing. In theory yes however there is obviously a reason that they are smaller as I would have thought if the could have been 295mm like the rest Volvo would have done so.
