Hello All,
Could anyone tell me which wheels, other than Volvo, will fit my car. I have a 92 960 wagon with original wheels which call for 195x65x15's. Thanks in advance.

    There are some Fords which share the bolt circle pattern. It's 5X108mm.

    Reportedly some Mercedes Benz and BMW 5-series do as well, though I do not have proof of that. Ask a reputable wheel wholesaler like the guys at Tirerack.com and see what they list for the application.

    There are a lot of aftermarket wheels out there- if there's nothing stock that suits you there's sure to be something aftermarket.

    The one thing you'll have to be careful of is the wheel offset, or backspacing. This car takes a RWD offset, meaning the wheel mounting face is more towards the inside of the wheel. Later 960's, 95-up, take wheels like the 850/V70 line, with a front-wheel-drive offset, meaning the bolting face is closer to the outside of the wheel, closer to the hubcap.

    If a wheel is listed for fitting a 240, and it's 15" or 16", it should fit your car as well. One style, the 240 Turbo wheel (aka Virgo) will NOT fit your car due to clearance problems with the ABS brake calipers in front. It's the only wheel I know of with the issue in the 15" size. It's an odd wheel.
    Good luck with it.
