ideas for a wagon?

[Rebounder]

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

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

3. none

start with lowering it first

Things that will help make the offset decision.

1. Picture(s) of your car on the stock 17x8 wheels so we can see what you're working with.

2. Measuring your current setup to see how much room you have between the wheel/tire and the fender.

3. Look around the volvo forum and see if anyone has a nice stance that you could base your offsets off.

If you have any of those, we can help you figure out the best offset for your car.

fenders are stock, but the wheels may have had a bit more negative camber than usual in that photo since the car was filled with enough stuff to lower it about 1-2 inches in the back

[Dr.AK]

I assume your fenders are still stock?

Judging from that pic, with rolled fenders you may be able to go for an ET 15-ish.

Your best bet would be to measure how much room there is from your wheel to your fender's edge and them use a wheel calculator to calculate the necessary offset, to get the look you desire.

shit, more decisions. the custom pcd is custom offset too... HALP! stock is 17x8 +46 offset i've attached a pic of where it sits currently. what do I want for offset?

[Rebounder]

I wanted to run my stock tire width just on a wider wheel but to strech i'd need to go skinnier. guess i'd just have to take it easier

so I need to call them directly to preorder them? only being 8.5 is kinda dissappointing. not much of an upgrade from stock 8s

Depending on what color you want, they have links in that first post to make the refundable deposit. With a purchase that large, you're probably best off making the call IMO. They're a great group of guys and it will allow you to discuss things like bolt pattern and stuff to make sure everything fits well and you can get a nice flush fitment.

I'm not familiar with volvo fitment so I wasn't sure on sizes. At 8.5, these obviously won't be wide poking wheels, but I personally feel that the flush/tuck stance is more appropriate for wagons...especially ones with such flat side profiles like that volvo. Wide wheels and poke look better on sedans and hatchbacks that have flared fenders and that squat look. On my "wagon" I've only run 7.5's and 8's rather than the wider wheels I used to run on my coupe. I think wagons can pull off the flush/tuck stance without having to run any crazy wide wheels.

Fifteen52 Tarmacs. The unique flat face design would work well with the big slabby side panels on the v70 wagon IMO

Not too expensive either: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...e-Order-Thread

What Rally said.

Either that or some wide as f*ck OZ Futuras.
