The Quest to Stance a Volvo

holy shit that first side shot is amazing

For those that have asked about wheel fitment on 850's x70's, I made a little database of pics and specs to help you out.

Put 2 on today, since I only have 3 out of 4 (one needed to be re-coated, finish came out blotchy in places). Test fit was a great success! Rears need some more spacing, fronts sit PERFECT. And surprisingly, I took it around my friends cul-de-sac a few times and it only barely rubs on FULL lock. Which is actually less rubbing than my previous wheels (the 5 spokes or RK's).

So here are some pictures to satisfy those curious.

Ground to fender sits 22 1/2 rear, 22 1/8 front. Front needs to meet the 22 mark, or slightly below, and the rear needs to come down to about 22 to fit right.

Here's a big update... sorta... I picked up my wheels tonight, getting the tires mounted friday, and will hopefully test fit the same day. Unfortunately, winter is upon us and I won't get much time to run these wheels before I have to take them off, but at least I'll put them on for a day or two to see how they fit.

Specs
18x8.5
ET35 (with adapters will fit ET20 front, ET15 rear)
5x112
215/35-18 Tires

I got an audi now, but still i love this Volvos are sooo dope

thanks man! most of the guys I hang with have B5's so I'm quite familiar with them. Would love to own an Audi one day (in addition to a Volvo of course),

Looks good. Got more info on that C70?

It's my friend Rob's, I don't have a whole lot of info, and he doesn't post much online. Here are a few more pics of his car I took at H20 though.

Took a few pictures today on my day off... thought I was going to be picking up my new wheels today... but they STILL aren't done... I did however sell the BBS RK's today, so those will be shipped to their new owner at the start of next week.

Saw the bra pics on Instagram. I kinda like it!

I like that I have never seen another Volvo with one, and even if its not consistently on the car, it's cool to be able to change the front end instantly. Especially on a car that has little to no aftermarket exterior mods available.

Just read the whole thread. Good job. The car looks great, except the bra...

Thanks man! I bought it because I've always sorta wanted one to experiment with. It won't be permanent. Haha

Looking good as always. Kinda reminds me of a red V70 with a bra that used to pass by my house several times this summer.

Essentially the same car! Thanks dude! I love hearing positive things from other Volvo owners!

Love the fact this build has been going on for 2 years.

Read over the whole thing and enjoyed to see the changes that happened. Great work man.

It will go on for much longer as well! Thanks for the kind words!

picked this up just to try it out. I kinda like the look, i'll be keeping it in the car for the instant visual change it adds to the car. Paint is already far from perfect.
