decker Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I found a set to put my winter tires on... any fitment issues with these on the '99 "R" Models???Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Also... the car is lowered... the winter tires are 205/55/16 Would I run into this problem like the 850R's had? http://volvospeed.com/Repair/2055516.phpDidn't '99 R's originally come with 16" tires though?

Perfo and Satelite back spacing will only clear the 302mm brakes and '99-'00 had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be able to run those rims if you use spaces, I don't know the offset of Columbia or steels, but my Satelites and Perfos are 43mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Columbusia'sesses 40mm offset... and if so is that why they rub?(sigh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWinkey Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 As stated with the bigger rotors they won't fit and your R should have the bigger ones. An easy way to tell is look at the hub of the rotor and see if the min. thickness stamping is 23mm or 25mm if it's 23 then ok if 25 then they won't work. However an exception is someone could have put the wrong rotors on and the wheels still won't fit. I have seen this(wrong rotors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 The steel wheels and Dunlops from Tire Rack fit just fine. The car is almost totally black now with the wheels... now it just needs some "cop spec" dog dish hub caps to complete the whole CIA "covert op" look.
