The craigslists advert I-5 Librarian provided the link to expired. So, I was not able to check them up, get the model name and specs.

Them wheels looked a little new.

There is a make / break for wheels between 940 / 960 by year that is okay backward and forward.

Be wary, should you use a Volvo FWD/AWD offset wheel, as you need those spacers, and many are made really poorly. Pageda Dan made mention in a post somewheres.

There is a sticky on turbobricks and a few website that provide an exhaustive listing fo Volvo wheel models. You can find them using Bing or Google. These lists may provide spec info, or merely have an image and if lucky, a Volvo part number.

Some 20+ year owld use wheel may need some help, like check for true and fractures and refinish; certainly when corrosion along the bead interface cannot be polished away.

I like the 700/900 15" steelies that are not so wide. Maybe 6" versus the 240 14" steelie 5.5" width. And you can still use the dog dish two piece center hubcaps, so I read about.

Hope that helps.

I know the tire size will work just fine -- but the potential problem -- 940 rims WILL work fine on a 240 - but these rims came from a 960 and it's my understanding that 960 rims use the same offset as the FWD Volvos and I can tell you that the rim and ruined tire given to me by my cousin from her old S80 would not go on a 245 parts car. -- Dave

Thanks guys. I made an appointment at Discount Tire. I decided to go with stock rims and Michelin T+H 195/70/14,a little wider,and a little smaller in diameter. After reading about the Michelin's I hope the ride isn't to harsh.
