Finally put the new pegs and tires on. Went with a 225-40-18. Not alot of clearance, but can live with it for now. Will be taking the IPD springs off and putting the Eibachs back on to see the difference with these wheels and tire combo. Thanks to CJ for the great deal and powder coating hookup.

Its a EST chrome tip that I had ceramic coated at a local powder coater. I am considering the interior switch over...will have to save my pennies.

if your interior is as clean as the outside of the car don't bother, and that's coming from someone who hates the volvo beige interiors

That paint is so sweet.
I would leave the tire size as is.
You don't want your tires muffin-toppin' it, or maybe you do :lol:
Also I would get the rear tires flush with the body.

Even though you use pegs, I approve :P

i went with 215-40-18 on mine for a little stretched look... Quaife helps with traction though

your wheels look great!
