Hi,

Can someone let me know whether the wheels from 2002 S60 (195-65R15) would fit on a 1999 V70 (195/60R15)?

Thanks,
Paul

    I am not shure, the boltpattern is the same but V70 has offset 43 and S60 has 49.
    I have S80 steelrims on my 98 for my wintertires and S80 has the same offset as S60, usually a car with smaler offset can always use a rim from a car with larger offset (if the boltpattern and hub diameter is the same).
    Maybe you will have to use spacers but i won`t think so since it`s only 6mm where talking about here.
    If you don`t use spacers you will change the tracktion width on the car and if that is legal or not you have to find out with your countrys police department.
    Here in sweden it is not legal to make a change like this.
    But then again you can always buy spacers.

      I am running 16 in rims off a 2001 s60 T on my 97 850. they have different offsets, i forget what they are, but control over the vehicle has improved signifcantly with the wheels and tires.

      They should work for you, but be sure to watch for uneven wear, and check all your suspension components to make sure its all tight before you do this if the wheels and tires are larger and heavier.
