Good day all, I know it''s still summer and who wants to think about snow. Well I am in the process of clearing out the garage, and still have a set of good winter tires and rims from my 960 wagon, I was wondering if they will fit my V70. They appear to have the same bolt pattern and off set, and a number of rim and wheel sites are selling the same chrome and alloy rims for both cars??? same part number???
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

What year is(was) the 960? It is my understanding that the wheel offset changed for the '95 model year, going to the deep offset matching the 850/S/V70. That would mean to me (someone correct me please) 960 wheels up to MY '94 will fit all 700/900/200 series cars, but not MY '95 and newer 960s, nor any of the FWD models.

That said, I SWEAR that just last night I saw a 2001 or newer V70 sporting 16" "Hydra" wheels from a 740/940.

Sorry to be so wishy-washy. It's all anecdotal information, but I do know that the year of the 960 matters as the offset changed between the '94 and '95 MY 960.

Hi Padrea,

Sorry-- they won't fit! I have the same situation... new(er) v70, set of steel wheels for 740/960... but the calipers won't clear...

I'm going to try to get some used steel rims... I've bought packages through tire rack, but they seem to turn to rust in just a couple of years!

good luck!

The offset is different on those wheels, but not a great deal. So long as you aren't planning on racing your car with the winter tires/wheels mounted, I don't think it will be much of a problem. Just make sure that the tires are still good and not dry rotted.

I still miss my 164 and my 854T. Just driving a V70R :)

if the 960 was a 95 or newer they should fit. 94 or older the tire will rub on the front strut and the rear inner fender
