Rim Selection for 1997 960 900

What models and years of rims will work on a 1997 960 wagon? Is it correct that 1997 960's have a FWD offset and that I can correctly use any year of 850-S/V70 rims on this model? Thanks for the assistance!

Any FWD wheel up til 2002 fits, IIRC, so 850/S/V/C70/80 and early S60 fits. 38-43 mm offset.

I put a set of Perfo's from a '98 S70 T5 on my '97 wagon:

Well, I'm not sure of the max amount of offset you can run (I also have a 97 V90) but I can tell you that a nice pair of 16 inch S60 rims did NOT fit by the front struts. Bummer, they were a good deal, too.

Get on IPD's website and buy a set of Pegs.

The faux Pegasus wheels from IPD are actually 20mm offset to fit the RWD cars without spacers, so will NOT fit a late 960 or one of the FWD cars using a 45mm offset.

To my recollection, IPD sells FWD offset Pegs...

It appears they sell both. I had only ever seen the RWD versions listed, but (duh) that's because I only get the RWD catalog!!

I run wagon spoked 850 rims on my 1997 960 wagon, so I can vouch for 850 rims.
