You make me miss my Style 5's.

i wanna c them mounted

[Tedd81]

Thanks Matt, your car was my inspirator!

They'll be on the car in about two weeks, still waiting on the coil-overs!!

[Chuckdee]

Oh please hurry to get these mounted! I rebuilt my style 5's and I enjoyed doing it!

[Rubens]

Lovelyyyyy

[atomicclutch]

sick wheels!!!!!!!!

[ionz]

very jealous of those wheels.

[Tedd81]

Finally I got me some coils so I could get lower. All in preparation for the new wheels.
Putting them on was not too hard, took me a couple of hours.

The original situation was like this.





I forgot to take pictures of everything, but this is the new set-up.





Also coils in the rear, but I forgot to take pictures.

And this is how it stands now.









First I'm going to drive a little so the springs can settle, they will. It still needs a little fine-tuning. I probably am going to lower the front a bit more. I still have about 1 inch left and 3/4 in the rear. Maybe more. But I'm not going too low.

But for now I'm pleased.

Saturday.... wheels!!!

Edit: Don't mind the missing wheelsbolts and not attached stabi, I was half done in all those pictures!

gvd zitte die velge der nu nog ni onder





it's sitting good

mild rake won't hurt anyone on this

like u said, lower the front some more

[Tedd81]

Well the car is sitting straight. On the picture it looks like the rear is lower, but it isn't. The arches have different shapes.
But yea I'll probably drop the front some more, but first... wheels.

On saturday!

[Tedd81]

The wheels are on the car. Needs some finetuning, I need the roll the rear arches and the front camber has to be set, other than that.... Style 5's on a Volvo.

Hope you like, I do!!

wow amazing job on those wheels man they look absolutely amazing one of the better style 5 rebuilds on SW IMO they tie everything together nicely as well. are they the 17x8 +20 et all around ?

[Tedd81]

Thnx man! Yes they are 17x8 et20 all around!

[JVC]

The color on the centers I feel doesn't quite flow with the car. Other than that they look nice! What's the tire size?

[Tedd81]

I actually like the color a lot. That was the only thing I wasn't sure about, but it works for me!
Good thing different people have different tastes hey?

Tire size is 215-45R17. They are a bit too big!
Will go smaller next time I need new tires.
