confirming that the Thunderbird models have a 5 on 108mm bolt pattern

Learn something new every day... thanks for the new info.

The offset is an issue, though. Most FWD cars have the wheels set way inboard (positive offset), and that's not good for old Volvos even if clearance is not a problem. Ideally, although it's fairly forgiving, you want to keep the centerline of the wheels where the centerline of the stock wheels was. The reason is that the inner wheel in a corner turns more sharply than the outer -- how much more is built into the car and is not adjustable. Changing the centerline of the wheels messes with that.
