I have the cheapest 850 which came with steel wheels. A zillion years ago I picked up some 15" volvo alloys off ebay. I've been running those wheels for a long time but do switch back to the steels yearly as they have snow tires.

Any idea if i am making a mistake here? Galvanic reaction if alloys have a different design. Is there any 850 parts lookups online, that might have told me if there are different lugs available. I don't care if alloys got a prettier chrome plated bolts.

On my 83 audi there is a label in the trunk showing the allows take a longer bolt.
