What parts will fit?

Met a fellow today who dismantles and parts out R series Volvos. I purchased a set of wheels for my 2006 XC70. Got me thinking: Are there any parts from R series that I can use to improve my (and wife's 2013 S60)? I don't want to get into brakes, but what about headlights or anti-sway bars? Are they interchangeable?

Sorry - I just read the last part of your post - the rear anti-sway bar on my 855R did not really look like a sway bar - one end bolted to the suspension by way of a plate welded at a right angle to the bar

R wheels will probably rub on your fender liners, maybe other parts as well.t
My '96 855R had cut-away fender liners - about 50% of the liner was cut away to accommodate the Volan wheels.

Get the car on a lift to check clearances, including the rear of the exhaust system.

That '96 855R was a fine car - even the dealer's wife who formally owned it told me it was the best car she ever drove!

Did you know that 850's rear delta suspension steered the rear wheels in emergency turns.
