Almost all ........ but watch for ET numbers 200

All of the RWD Volvos, at least going back to 122's, I think, will fit, at least regarding the stud pattern.
I also believe (not entirely sure) that the FWD wheels will fit if you use a spacer.

But what you really want to be careful about (among choices of Volvo wheels) is the offset, especially if you're considering the very wide wheels. For example, I have a set of Hydras on one car, which are 16x6.5" and from a 700 or 900 car, as well as Turbo Virgos on another car that are only 15x6". The 6.5" wide wheel is at the limit of clearance (to the rear caliper's "heel"), while the 6" has plenty of space. They should only be 1/4" different, but it's more like 3/4" (maybe 1/2"), because the wider Hydra also sits farther inboard because it has a 5mm difference in wheel offset, 20 vs. 25mm.

Some of the earlier cars, such as 140s and the 164 prior to 1975, had a very large ET number -- that's the offset, not ET's home phone number :-) -- of 40 mm, which can cause problems in a 240 (although they were all such skinny wheels, I don't know why you'd want to use them).

So the thing to check is the ET number stamped on the wheel (e.g., 20, 25, etc.).
