Close, but no cigar...........

They are 'Draco', 6" x 15", PCD 5x108 ET25mm as found as standard on 740 and early 940 Turbos. Part number 1330 400.

thats a shame - i thought they'd look nice on a 300

incidentally - im guessing no cos the holes look very close - but would v50/new v40 wheels fit on a 2/7/9 series car??

they look sexy!

The chances are that they won't fit as the ET is 52.5mm

200's are 20mm, 700/940/pre95 960's are 25mm, 95> 960's are 43mm.

For a wheel to fit the ET must be the same as, or less, than the correct size.

could you not just shim it out a bit?

Post by **V6 Man** » 21 Apr 2005 04:39 pm

Sorry, I meant to say they will not fit without using spacers!

Well atleast its possible... 2/7/900s look awesome with later Volvo alloys on them.

Gee... what IS that?

A 740 with US headlights 940 Look-a-like on 850 R look-a-like rims?
Not that I don't like the looks of it...WOW

Post by **foggyjames** » 22 Apr 2005 08:39 am

Nothing 940 about it...it's a US 740 with the front splitters from the one of the factory 740 bodykits, and 850 T5-R 'Titan' rims.

cheers

I prefer US spec headlights on 700s compared to the UK ones. The car is as square as anything, may as well have uber square headlights too

I like those american lights very much! I wonder how the 300 serie would look like when it was sold in america (they probably changed the lights also)
