Volvo C30

[sixonefive]

these are probably my favorite volvo model ever...i have always wondered what one would look like if it were properly stanced

[shannfab]

i think you need 18s....whats the offset your working with now? those ferarri wheels might work with spacers...

the offset i have now with these bbs is et35, 20 mm spacer on the rears. Yeah, i may try the ferrari wheels, several stock choices made by bbs or hre, in the future, or I may just buy some ccw wheels in 18s. Probably be a while though, I still wanna get the suspension sorted out.

ccws would look crazy if you go wide with them

looks good so far tho

Love it mayng, especially sinces its something you dont expect. Where are you in Tejas?

I'm in Austin. I'm hoping to make it out to some of the meets out in Dallas this year.

Thanks homie!

There was one in belgium with bags that sat real nice, but the guy sold it a while back. That's about it.

i plan to go lower and split and refurbish the wheels again.

And now there's one in belgium who rides low on coilovers

but i like your setup, it looks awesome

That's me! I love your volvo by the way. I used to have a s70 before I got an xc90. Reid's s40 is dope, just needs some ill wheels.

Thank you man, I'm looking to change things up wheel wise here pretty soon though. Have any pics of the old S70?

Yeah Reid's car is nice. He used to have an S70 as well. We were roommates for a couple of years while he was here for school, so I got to see both of his cars.

Are you coming up to Carlisle this year?

I definitely think you just need some more low to get those wheels fitting properly. The offset and everything looks great, but the height is lacking. What suspension are you on right now?

I'd love to roll to Carlisle, but it's so far, and I don't think the fam would enjoy the trip in my lil c30. Maybe someday.

The suspension is actually the Evolve springs with about one and a third coil cut out in front and two coils in the back. I've had several cars with coilovers and it surprisingly rides pretty comparable. I was planning on getting coilovers or maybe bags, but after getting the XC90 that may have to wait a lil while.

Kevin_983 - I see you homie! I forgot about your c30, I remember seeing it on swedespeed. The 19 inch BBS are ill. There has been a few others with the R design kit and 19s, but I don't think their stance is as nice as yours. I went for the simpler(cheaper) route.


thanks again y'all!

Car looks dope! Would look great with a little more low haha.

nice c30.. i like it.. i got the same car, just w/ bbs rx's on it. and ksport coilovers. which blow.

[junjdm]

very clean.........imo, i think you could go one more inch in wheels?.....

[shannfab]

If you do, lemme know. Id be interested in doing some photos on this thing.

i'll holla at ya for sure. Just lookin through your flickr account, your pics are nice! I'm not very clever when it comes to photography, so having someone with some skills and interesting use of background/lighting would be dope!

[magoo_lc1]

always liked these dont see many in my area though

[Dmasters]

bringin' back from the dead!

I might have to sell my M3...thinking of getting a C30 and throw some wheels and coils on it

What size tires do you have on those 17x8 BBS wheels in these pics?

[shannfab]

new pics with st coilovers, also using ipd hd endlinks.







can't go any lower cause the skid plate is less than an inch from the ground and the tires are up in the fenders/black trim. it rubs a bit and scrapes the skidplate a bunch.
