Wheel upgrade for my 1990 480 turbo

Post by kenthesweep » Fri Mar 02, 2007 7:46 pm

I was in a breakers yard today, and came across a set of wheels from an s40 2006 model. They were in perfect condition, and wore 195/55/15 tyres.

I found a link in the forum the other day explaining the size of the hub holes, but can't find it again. Could someone point me to it, or advise if the wheels would fit the 1990 model 480 turbo - are the hud diameters the same??

Many thanks to all.

No, they won't fit. 440/460/480 is 4x100 PCD. S40 is 4x114,3 (1996-2003) and 5x108 (2004->).

They don't fit because the s and v40 are mitsubishi's and no volvo's...
