V*lv* alloys
The rather spiffy alloys [8D] off the 850/V70 fit the XM - this much we know. But... which wheel nuts should be used: V*lv* or Cit[?]

Neither - they use bolts.
The XM has M12 x 1.25 while the Volvo uses M12 x 1.5
So your best bet is to look carefully at the bolt seating to see if it is flat or conical. The standard XM bolts for steel wheels are conical while the bolts for standard aluminium wheels are flat. Don't know what the Volvo uses.

Do It,
I've had two. Much Fun!!
Imagine it 170bhp in a CX, 4th gear 65mph and then you boot it, yaaaayyy TURBO power, really are fantasticly flexible in the 60-110 speed range in fourth. (on a private road ociffer)
Or buy a maikonics one, i know of (knew if its sold) one for sale, for little money, over 200 horses.
