  • 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.

      • 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!

        • 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.

                      • Thats crazy you guys have snow, it has only froze like twice here this winter.... our mildest winter in Northern Ireland in 100 years!

                        Back on subject, a late Merry Christmas and love your Volvo! My dad owned an S60 and it was by far the best car he ever had...built solid, no rattles or squeaks, full leather, surround sound, galvanised body, and a T5 engine, what else could you want?! haha.

                        What engine is your Volvo? Had a look through your pics, the Swedish make a great car!! For the price of a used BMW or Mercedes you will always get a much higher spec used Volvo! Whats next for the Volvo, when will you have the new wheels on?

                            For sure, once spring hits the Monos will go on and then stuff will get a BIT more serious... I'm having fun plowing the streets in the area right now!

                            Yeah, we're getting a bit of snow, its just been lake effect so only small portions of Chicago, IL are getting snow, really just the north suburbs, pretty cool actually. I have the T5 (2.3 Turbo) not a whole lot else I could want! there's something special about the sound of a turbo 5 cylinder. I'm shooting for End of March/April to have the wheels on, work has been slow, spending money to do maintenance stuff (wheel bearings, shocks, some other stuff) so I really haven't touched them, I'll probably get some more done when I get a heated garage to work in while my friend swaps the motor in his BMW.

                            Just a few more pics of the weather today...

                            Went to work, parked inside and got snowed on...



                            Left work, went home



                            then left to get McDonalds with NeedingAnAudi





                            This new lip is like an inch off the ground so It's been known to do this... keeping it sloppy!
