Expert Buying Guide for 1993 Volvo 940
For your 1993 Volvo 940, the bolt pattern is 5x108 with a center bore of 63.4mm. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, so hub-centric rings are essential to prevent vibration and ensure proper load distribution. The factory offset is 50mm; deviations beyond ±5mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues. Always use the correct lug nuts: 14x1.5 thread pitch with a conical (60-degree) seat. Ball-seat or incorrect thread pitch can lead to wheel loss. Re-torque after 50 miles of driving.
