940/960 steel wheels, will they fit 700 series?

[Davis Redding]

Hi all,

I found a set of 940/960 steel wheels, and I am 98% certain they will fit a 700 series (I
have a '87 760 with non IRS).

I just want to confirm if they fit, I can't find any wheel resource online to confirm this
before I buy them.

Thanks! (they are 15" with 185/65/15 Gislaveds on them, might as well look for snow tires
when it is warm = cheap!)

Seems I've found out that late model 960s have a different offset, more like the S70/850
from what I've read online. I can't confirm this.

I just found another set of wheels that used to be on an earlier 940/960 ('92), but they
are bare wheels without snows.

Any wheel from a 960 late '94 up (basically a '95 model 960) will not fit onto a 760 of
that vintage. Different offset.

But otherwise, 700/900 wheels are all interchangeable, with the
exception of 14" wheels that won't fit over the front brakes on later
700/900 cars
