I have an '85 240GL and i need to know if the 16"x6.5" COLUMBA wheels from an 850/S70/V70/C70 will fit my volvo. I can get these wheels for a cheap price, and i am desperate to know if they will fit or not. Any help would be awesome!
Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris

The wheel will not fit without. Volvo longer wheel studs and 20mm spacers or 25mm adapter the COLUMBA have a 43mm offset and 240 wheels have 20-25mm offset below are some link reguarding this conversion

This link has all the info on fitting front wheel drive car wheels to a 240
www.geocities.com/ashvolvo/wheels.html

This link has general info about longer wheel studs and 20mm spacers and 25mm adapter
wwwrsphysse.anu.edu.au/~amh110/wheel_spacers.htm

I bought a set of COLUMBA wheels a full set of 5 for $350 Australian$ for my 74 144 project car. They need 5 to 10mm spacer to fit a 140. I hope these link give you enough info about this subject
