What is the wheel pattern on a 745? 5X100?

In inches, that equates to 4 1/4" (4.25"). Why Volvo used the 4 1/2" (4.5") bolt pattern for soooo many years and then all of a sudden changed one day is a mystery to me, as is why they went from using strictly standard bolts/nuts/screw/etc. up until the 140 series when everything changed to metric......

240 lug nuts are 1/2"x20 SAE threads, not metric. That doesn't make much sense either when all, or nearly all other hardware is metric. The 700 series and later uses metric lugs, but then with the 850 they changed to bolts instead of studs.
