https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wheel-spa...AaAn6kEALw_wcB ... I don't know whether you were thinking of a 240 or a 940 - my guess is that the rear axles are pretty similar. On the 244 the rear track is about 2" narrower than the front, so it is quite a neat thing to make them the same. Alan

Like Alan pointed out, the RB/240 series the rear axle is narrower by ~2" than the 7/9xx axle, there's a lot of space in the 240 rear arches but not quite as much on the 7/9xx - you could try the spacers but in all honesty, i think you'd end up not using them.

You have 3 choices....
1. Replace your steelies with genuine Volvo RWD alloys such as the Aurega in the second post or the Galaxy's. or the standard 15 inch alloys off a standard LPT 940.... 2, buy any of the FWD Volvo alloys in a 15 or 16 inch and use 20mm hubcentric spacers to reach correct fitment 3. do what i did and buy an aftermarket set of 17 inch alloys, The ones in the pic are Lenso Eagle 2 ET35 with a 20mm spacer |

I really really like those - and seeing as your car is the same colour as mine I can see how they look already
Thank you for the details.
