ideas for a wagon?

[wagonist]

start with lowering it first

2. Front/back wheel 4.5/5.5 tire 1.5/2.5 (all inches)

3. none

This is with an 8.5 ET30... So if you like this look you could achieve this with the 52 Tarmac wheel no prob. Or because the wheel will be custom fit to your car, you could for a more aggressive fitment as well if you like. Just remember that when you lower the car the suspension articulation will change and the wheel will move in and out in relation to ride height.

Either way we can set you up...

do you have more information on that car's suspension too? looking at that I'm thinking et20, 15, or 10

more offset research

18X8.5 front, ET25
18X10.5 rear, ET30 5MM spacers

You don't want to go that low on the offset. et30 looks just about flush. 18x8.5 isn't exactly ideal for poke if that's what you're going for, but like I said...you're far better off with the flush stance on wagons with such flast side panels anyways.

If anything you *might* consider et25 or *maybe* et20 if volvos experience a lot of camber when lowered. Otherwise 8.5 et30 looks pretty flush. Here's another angle of 8.5et30

If it were me, I'd aim for et30 or et25 depending on how tight you want the clearance.



Mine for example:

et25 8.5 front

[Rally]

Yah, I'm liking et25

[Even.j]

Mercedes Alphards.

[Rebounder]

Mercedes Alphards.

I was originally considering those too

[wagonist]

with spaces/adapters the offsets may be quite aggressive.

[Even.j]

I think the Alphards definetly would look sick on a V70R with agressive stance.

[Rebounder]

Yah, I'm liking et25

If the back needs spacers I can add some

[Rebounder]

with spaces/adapters the offsets may be quite aggressive.

the offset on 9.5 alphards is 40 so i'd have some room to play since the stock offset of the 8s is 46. i'd do 9.5 or higher if I ever decide to add flares.

With the Tarmac wheels there would be no spacers required as we would be building these cast wheels around your car. So if you wanted ET25 front and ET15 or 20 rear, we can do that no problem...

well I can't know exactly how they'll fit until they're on the car.
