as you all know the 93 850 is an odd ball. the 93 has 4 lugs i was woundering if i could put the 94 hubs on my 93 so i have 5 lugs so i can get new wheels and spacers

[Jaxx]

you'll have a better wheel selection if you stick to the 4 lug, to be quite honest.

i was hoping to get a set of vectors and adding 20mm spacers and i can only find them in 5 lugs thats why i was hoping that it would not be to difficult to convert.

Early Model 1994 850's also had 4 lugs also

[AMB]

really did not know that. then would a five lug hub fit on my 93

it will fit the drive shaft, drive shaft is the same across the application change. but i'm not too sure about the steering knuckle. i have to check on that later. but i'm 80% sure that the knuckle is the same.

it's not always bad owning a 93, just have to appreciate the N/A fun

The 4x108 bolt pattern opens you up to a whole range of possibilities.



BBS RS are also pretty common in 4x108, amongst many others..

you think bbs would look good on a 850 ?

it's all matter of personal taste... personally i like titan, or bbs LM... but that's just me

[AMB]

truth im a big fan of the vectors on the 850 but i love the bbs on E30's they look so nice

[98t5M]

RS's are for e30's and Veedubs IMO but their is a HUGE selection of wheels for 4x108 compared to 5 lug.

Owning any volvo is a headache. Sell it and buy a decent car. Viva BMW.

[Colbert]

I owned a '93 and ... sold it

Better thing to upgrade IMO is the timming belt, I guess you could do something here.

Ppl have fitted 5 lugs on to 93's all around.
Not impossible, not worth it unless you've got a parts car or hubs and everything are shot on the car as it stands

thanks for adding to the info's available. did you have to switch the knuckles? or did you just switch the hub/bearing assembly?

those parts to get them new, even aftermarket would cost a fortune.

[AMB]

the hubs are not to much but i got a junk yard that can get them for me for cheap.
