Expert Buying Guide for 1994 Volvo 960
For your 1994 Volvo 960, the bolt pattern is 5x108, shared with 1992–1997 models. The center bore is 63.4mm; aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure proper load distribution. Offset is critical: stock is around 50mm. Deviating more than ±5mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues with struts and fenders. Always use the correct lug nuts: 14x1.5 thread pitch with a conical (60-degree) or ball seat—never mix seat types. Improper lug nuts can lead to wheel loosening. Re-torque after 50 miles of driving.
