so i've searched high and low on multiple forums and just have to ask if they'll work properly.

I'm running my 99 2.5 GT sedan on stock springs/no suspension mods

They came off a Volvo Wagon still have the hub caps (boss's wifes car)

Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3 195/65/R15 With a 55 offset on the rims (i believe, i saw the 55 on the inside of the rim)

im concerned about the rim and tire size. I was just gonna sell them and run my bald all seasons all winter but thats not smart. now i'm thinking it might be nice to have snow tires for the first time ever.

thanks guys

is it a 5x100 bolt pattern?
also you gotta watch your offset i have a +35 offset on my Impreza and had to flare my fenders due to rubbing...you might have that issue as well

Sell them and use the money to get new tires or a good set of used tires off the forums/craigslist.

Depends on the hub bore size, bolt pattern and whether or not the wheel will clear the brake caliper.

I'm going to say no, because Volvos are typically 5x108mm

Why don't you just try one on? Even if you don't have a jack and impact you can use the spare jack and tire iron. Its going to be the easiest way to figure it out.

volvos have strange bolt pattern.
55offset is the same as snowflake rims are.
