Could somebody please tell me if the following rims will fit on my car?

Here's all the specs I have so far:

' Wheels - 15x7 S-108 ET35 MSF BOR '

The guy said he had them on his Volvo S60.

Will I have clearance problems? Bolt pattern okay? I don't know what
the characters after 'S-108' mean. I think I saw somebody posted on SC that 108s will work okay.

Thanks for any help folks!

Interesting, if not helpful.

Not really, Saab's are 5x110 but some people use wobble bolts to get the volvo wheels to fit.

Thanks for that link e-worm. Looks like the offset is a couple mm too small. I wonder if that will really make a difference. Since the rims are 7" I assume that the lower offset will allow the rim to go further out from the hub. Rubbing issues?

I'm also thinking that the 108 PCD is too narrow of bolt pattern. Must it be exactly 110 or is there some slop allowed? Use different nuts on the wheels maybe?

BTW, the wheels were on a C70, not an S60. Not sure of what year it was.

110 is much much better and don't forget the centre bore size. My recommendation would be to use Saab wheels or other wheels in a 5x110 pattern. The Chevy Cobalt, Pontiac G6, Chevy Malibu and friends all have 5x110 bolt patterns so the selection of cheap wheels on craigslist and the like is much much easier than in the recent past. Why take the risk unless the Volvo rims are free?

Are those steel rims?
The Volvo wheels will fit just fine and if they're the steel wheels you won't even need the special bolts. Troll_Speed uses them on his Ng900 with no issues. Many SAAB owners opt to buy the 17" Volvo Pegasus wheels to put on their cars. I personally would use the hub centric bolts as a precaution.

Here are some Volvo Pegasus wheel on a 1994 NG900

They'd probably be fine on my 900C but that's up for sale soon. I can't find anyplace to buy the 'wobbly'/corrective bolts yet. That may solve the issue but I may end up passing on them after all since I have a feeling the tiny wheel wells won't be kind to a 7" rim.

Too bad huh? Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

I'll move on to the correct 5x110mm, 65.1 inner hub. Plus I don't think I want to use anything wider than 6.5" rims correct?

That stupid new muffler I put on is way wider than the old one. Good for flow but is less than 1/2" away from the edge of the rim now! Going to put some new hangers on the back and see if that helps. If not, the metal rods on the muffler may get bent a little when it's nicer outside.

OK, let's be clear here. The Volvo wheels will fit!!!!
Now, the C900 uses a 4 lug wheel and the NG900 uses the 5 lug wheel!
Thew pattern the C900 uses is 4X108

I fit 17" wheels 7" wide with no rubbing at all! the 2mm won't change a thing anyway. The wobble bolts are added insurance that you won't deform the soft alloy wheels used. If you're using steel wheels, that shouldn't even be an issue but the wobble bolts are available I think I can link you to a place that sells them. However for legal liability sake everyone will tell you to use the special bolts anyway and I personally think that if there's a small doubt, I'd prefer to put the special bolts rather than deform a wheel and pay to replace it.

Buy them and buy the special bolts. That is a really good deal.

I have the same tires on the NG900 not bad at all :cheesy:

The wheels look like a mini version of the Viggen wheels and they're Borbets.

Seriously? I sort have told the guy I'd pass. Possibly not too late.

Where can I get those bolts?
thanks!

Here's one place. Just a random bolt, you need to contact them for the exact replacement bolt.

Do more research, you can probably get them cheaper too. Getting them locally could be cheaper too considering the shipping cost.
