17' volans for a vintage car 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be 145volvowayne on  Mon Apr 5 12:26 CST 2004 [RELATED]

hello,
I hopped over from the 140 forum. I have found 2 17" Volan rims off an T5-R for my 1971 145 and I am in need of the other 2. Would any of you have some laying around you would like to get rid of?
Let me know

Don't have any weels, just a question. Have yu checked the wheel offset spec for your 145 versus the 850's? I know that teh 740/940 takes a very different offset from the 850, and think that there is priobably a basic difference between the front drive cars and all of the rear drives. If offsets are different, you are asking for lots of problems, particularly with handling issues. There a number of recent threads on offset question.

Ya I checked the off set 40mm for 140 cars and 43mm for front drive cars. I test fited one of the rims and they fit great. I'll just have to adjust my steering lock out stops so the tire wont rub on the sway bar.
