The Quest to Stance a Volvo

[JVC]

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.

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

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.

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.

haha, thanks! I wanted to make sure I had a good side profile so in the event I need to photoshop wheels on my car I have a good starting platform.

The Carlsson hits the spot, S70's need flat face wheels, it just suits the bodyline so much better than anything else.

I agree. Makes me wonder what the AMG Monoblocks would have looked like had I not sold them. Might have to find another set.

Looks good man.

I've always admired the amount of work you've put into this car, but never really commented out of respect because the look was never to my taste, but now, with those wheels, man it looks great! They're a perfect match.

This means a lot man. I don't build the car for others approval, but I've said it time and time again when I see a car that is not of my personal style. As long as you can see effort, time and hard work that has gone into the car that is what counts. I see it time and time again, people ****** on a car because of fake wheels, or because of the way they did something. If I can see hard work in a car, and see the little things that took hours to get right, rather than the big things they paid a shop to do, or the amount of money they spent on a set of wheels that all they did was bolt on, that is what counts.

I actually have some other wheels on their way (not getting rid of the Carlssons), and the new wheels are of Australian decent. I'll post up some pictures when they arrive later this week!

Always loved your car, and now with the news wheels it's even better

[PunkboySL2]

Looks great with the new wheels!
