Yes, there is an issue with it. The solid rotors are too thin for calipers designed for vented rotors. The pistons will extend too far out and either bind or completely fall out. Don't do it!

FCP should definitely have them... Strange, but I'm not seeing them there either. I *do* see them in a kit, here is the link to the rotors https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-disc-brake-rotor-front-vented-244-245-240-242-262-264-265

and the kit:

I hope that helps! I have no idea why they're saying they don't fit. What do your pads look like? Are your calipers marked ATE or Brembo?

Good luck!
William
