On my search to buy 'winter' rims for my XC, I came across an interesting fact. What else uses 5x108 (or 5x4.5)?
Taurus, Thunderbird, Windstar, Jaguar S Type, Jaguar X Type , Lincoln LS, Lincoln Continental, Lincoln MK VIII, and Mercury Sable. I do believe the hub size for Fords is 63.9mm while the Volvo 65.1mm. What it does mean is that OEM alloys won't fit but aftermarkets for these cars will by replacing the hubcentric ring (unless I want to find somewhere to bore out 1.2mm of the rims - a huge PITA).
Either way, it's a 'good to know'. Now, to find those winter rims...:)
