Lug thread Size for the 200 200 1989

I found this( see below) in the 700 FAQS but the actual SAE thread size for the 200 is not mentioned. Little help. I need to chase a Lug tha's getting a little crappy.
THANKS


Response: Steve Seekins] I believe that the 700/900 series all use a metric lug - 12mm x 1.50 thread. Although close in size to the earlier 200 series, the 200 series use an SAE or US thread. One thing to consider is that the lug wrenches that come with your car have a 19mm socket, and for those of you who use torque sticks with your impact wrench, the proper torque stick has a 19mm socket as well. I have found that many of the aftermarket lugs with 12x1.50 thread require a larger socket. For that reason I usually spend the extra bucks and get the Volvo OEM chrome lugs - they are identical in appearance as the chrome lugs used on the 242GT and 240 turbo models, but with the metric threads, and the chrome seems to be of pretty good quality.
