My shit 940.

Drove my ex 16" 9j Atiwe's with 195/50 pretty fine, tbh. I have to admit, that it felt good to step up to 17s though.


Anyhoe, liked your old wheels a lot, but I believe you will pull these off just as well

[Matt]

New wheels look nice, you decided what tiresize to run...

Personally i think the 195s suit them pretty good, maybe step down to a 50 sidewall...

Can't drive the car with the 195/55's on it, when I lowered the jack it hit the fender and never came any further down.

bought a steering wheel.

(not actual wheel, same style and model, just on a different car)

might paint the spokes black.

need to find a cool horn button now.

[Matt]

Test fitted with the giant tires. 6mm smaller adapter and some smaller tires and I'll be gucci.

[dharker]

Going to polish them up before putting them on?

[Matt]

Mounted some tires that will be way too big for the wheels, just so I can fit them and lower the car onto the ground and see what I'm working with. 195/55R16 Bridgestone Potenza's that are smoked...it sometimes pays off when you work at a car dealer that specializes in small cars to get take-offs, hah.


I'll have to give the wheels to the repair company our dealer group works with and have them take a look over and see if any more than that one needs straightening.

[Matt]

The S/V90 ones don't go into the same mounting holes as the rest of them? News to me.

Yeah, if you wanna send me a PM or something on what's required to do the S/V70 ones, that would be awesome, thanks!

[Maxen]

Also, there's a very good chance the car will be getting decalled up with AirCal stripes when it's done.


Would necessitate a move to painted, smoother S/V90 door rubstripes too.

In that case I would suggest using the ones from S/V70 instead. Used them on my 940 and it eliminates the need of welding the old holes in the door.

They require some modifications though, but I'll be happy to fill you in if you choose that path.

in for more updates,

[Matt]

I dig your steelies with the volvo caps in them. looks awesome. I've always wanted those wheels on mine but I had no idea the caps would fit

Gonna refit them with larger chunky tires and lift the car up for the winters maybe.

EDIT:// Who can I contact in regards to changing the title of this thread, I dislike the name I gave it many years ago quite a bit.

This is the side that sticks out further too at the moment, once I get an adjustable panhard rod in the back it should be money.

Looks spot on!
