Son of a *

I just bought 2 different sets of rims for my Volvos today. Those Panasport would be perfect for my 1800

Isn't that what adapters are for?

Perhaps. It would depend on what the offset is. If it has a RWD offset, then you may run into fender clearance issues. If it's a later 5x108mm car, it may be easier to just convert the car to the older 5x4.5" pattern (the spindles/hubs bolt on, but the rear is trickier if you want to keep the discs) - or just buy new correct Panasports from irollmotors. The cost is a bit more, but after adding in the cost of adapters (I haven't seen them for less than $200/set), it's about a wash.
