The Quest to Stance a Volvo

Go 35 series 40 will look to tall

those should look really good if you get your adapter width and tire size right.

Shooting for 15mm up front, will be 5mm out more than my current setup, 25 rear to essentially match my current rear setup. Might go a bit more, and either 205/40 or 215/35 tires... haven't decided but those are the most readily available sizes.

Nice day out so I kept working on the wheels.

Sanded out the majority of the rash, depending on how the others go I will likely go back and sand out ALL of the rash on this wheel, some of it is pretty deep so I'm hesitant to sand away tons of material.

Steps
400 dry
400 wet
1000 wet
1500 wet
rubbing compound on buffing wheel on drill
metal wheel polish on a different buffing attachment on a drill
hand polish using same wheel polish to get out any marks left by the machine polish





and one of my wheel workbench, lights, polishing stuff, sandpaper, water, gloves and a lot of elbow grease!

I vote 205/35/18 for a tire size. That'll get you some stretch

Was thinking 205/40 or 215/35, could maybe do 205/35... hadn't really thought about it as a tire size.

Started working on the wheels tonight, the rash should clean up pretty easily.



Tires were too big so I had them taken off today.



Ran some paint stripper on the lips and got this





After a bit of sanding on the lip to take some rash out





These are 100x easier than the MAE's or the BBS RK-II, just some stripper and then sand out the rash and polish them up. Now to start figuring out adapters and what size tire I'm going to run.

Crappy photoshop... You get the idea...

Love monos I'm in

[manbeard]

i think they'll work great! a boxy, flat faced wheel on a boxy car is a great combo

[JVC]

AMG wheels FTMFW ! nice find are they the 18 inch monos ?

18x8 ET31 square. I think they'll work well.

Hmmm, really doubt if it will look good. Classic AMG's on a Volvo. But please surprise me!

It's a wheel I've always wanted and now I finally get to do it. I think it will look good.

If they don't look good, I'll take them off your hands
