The Quest to Stance a Volvo

[JVC]

hahah i look in here . but i cant wait to see these fitted.

They'll at least get a test fit. I'll probably try to trade them or sell them to get something else, but they'll at least get a test fit once the tires are taken off.

So i must like this now, just bought myself a 98' 2.5T today. Hope i can make it look as nice as yours!

What lug patterns are the MAE's? Looking good=D

5x112 18x8.5 ET32

Going to need adapters to make them fit since no one in the midwest re-drills wheels and doesn't want an arm and a leg to do such and shipping them would kill that same cost.

Tested the 5x108 adapters I have and the 12mm studs are small enough to fit through the larger holes in the 5x112 wheel. Looks like when I get the tires taken off I'll at least be able to test fit these. Not going to drive with that difference but its close enough to be able to bolt the wheel to the car and set the car down so that I can see where the wheel will sit with a 15mm in front and 20mm in back.

Some tiny lip like this would be just perfect.

The quest is finished. Uve done it and done it good. Its absolutely faboulous. Only thing i miss is a tiny bootlip. would be nice.

thanks! haha, well I mean... it's low and kinda wide, but the quest has only just begun, it must be lower and wider.

I just can't bring myself to put something across the trunk since its kinda rounded and wouldn't be able to sit right at the edge because the trunk is curved... maybe I'll ebay one and play around with it though.

While meeting up with a friend the other day to have his car professionally shot, I took out my DSLR and snapped a pic that I just spent a while fixing up. Was pretty grainy to begin with, but I was able to fix it a little.

If it was that easy I wouldn't have posted here... I've tried eBay, as well as calling manufacturers and retail shops and no one has a damn clue.

Since no one looks here anyways... I might as well just post what I'm working on...



looked like



Anyone know where I can get a centercap removal tool for these wheels? I've called countless places and no one has a fucking clue...

Got one all shiny... 3 more to go.

Probably shouldn't have wasted time sanding... After sanding at 400 and then a quick bit of 1000 I was able to get this...





I was told to try paint stripper. My initial worry was getting it on the faces by accident and then having to have the faces repainted. I taped off the center and slapped some paint stripper on for 15 minutes and the areas that I hadn't sanded all of the clear off came out like this.











Definitely going to start with paint stripper first on the next 3 wheels... Save myself a lot of time.

HAHA! When I get them all cleaned up and maybe tires on them I'll let you rock em for a bit just for one day to make him super jealous!

Not gonna sell them until they all fancy though.

Gotcha, make sure you get 215/35/18s
