Author Topic: I need a wheel rim (Read 431 times)

I need a wheel rim for my Mom's '98 Volvo S90. The tires on there currently I think are 16" (P205/55 R16).

Question: Any of you car nuts know what rim will fit the car? Do I need to get a rim from a '98 S90, or will other models/years fit? I am not finding any useful info on the web, and the couple of salvage yards I have called are not much help.

With exception to the '93 850 (4 lugs) and S/V40's, Volvo's from the 144 series on up had a 5x108 (5x4.25") bolt pattern.
Sub-grouping those ... with the exception of early 140's/164 and 95+ 960's, RWD Volvo's had an offset of 20-25mm. The early ones had a 40mm offset on narrow wheels, and the 95+ 960, along with other FWD, has the common FWD offset of 43mm, give or take a few. The centerbore is 65.1mm.

8" is about the widest on any, though some may need slight modifications and/or deviation from spec.

Ford Taurus, Windstar, Thunderbird, Mercury Sable, and Lincoln LS share the same bolt pattern, though slightly different offset (38mm, give or take), and 63.9mm centerbore.

I used to help out a buddy from time to time who worked at a volvo dealership.

Basicly I was just there so I could use the lift when I wanted.

Good luck finding a single OEM wheel. All the junkyards want to sell full sets. Don't forget to check Ebay.

All the salvage yards I deal with are happy to sell single rims. Is that a 7-hole 16" alloy? Looks like it's in the 125 greenback range.
