Why are all the volvo people in town saying
I can't fit pegs on the c70.

My Indy tech told me not to do it,
Today volvo of louisville told me "I would need to beef up the suspension so it sits higher" WTF

F' em I"m putting them on anyway (225/40/18) right?

Methinks I will put them on as soon as some of these potholes are mended and then
figure out where my suspension needs to go.

I believe the only issue was certain tire sizes that were too wide or with too much sidewall rubbed a bit.

I dont know the specifics tho.

I have seen 245s front and 275s rear with 19s high offset and no modifications on C70 (remember the saffron one?).

I'm "X to the P" and I've been pimped...

Ha, look at Pat's c70. You tell your indy to take a gander at the tire size that Pat is running, and for him to hush up. What does he want you to do if you get pegs-get a suspension lift? Xc-C70? Ha, this is great, put a smile on my face

I'll take the Tritons when you get Pegs, if the price is right.

Don't do it...I like the Triton way better compare to Peg.

At least it's made by BBS so it's not overweight

I wanted an EVO but ended up with EVO chassis only

Did you mean Jeremy, aka exexpat ?

YOu can fit pegs, put them on drive to each shop afterwards to show them off.
