Jack8745 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I found these yesterday at a local jy for $80 They are 15x7 e12 I'm thinking about fitting them to my volvo 240. what spacers will work for a 240 with these wheels? someone told me et should be no more then 22 on 240s but im a noob when it comes to wheel fittment thanks Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPd Cameron Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 et12 should work OK as is on your 240. However, the bigger question is, what is the bolt pattern of those wheels? If they're not 5x108 and you need to do a pattern conversion you'll have to run typically at least a 25mm thick spacer to properly achieve that. That means you'll end up with an effective offset of +13 which is roller skate territory on your 240.... If it's close to 5x108 redrilling may be a possibility too. tldr, unless they're 5x108 bolt pattern they won't easily work on your 240. If they are in fact 5x108 but you don't end up using them let me know because I'll buy them from ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBoy8 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Regardless of offset and bolt pattern, you got a set of Ronal Turbos for $80.... SO freaking jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow95 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Your a regular on Turbobricks and you come to VS asking about 240 fitment? Fishy post smells fishy. If they are for sale just put them in the for sale forum and to those wanting to know, no they are not 5x108.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okoye Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 15mm is the lowest you can go as far as adapters. when you posted this on turbo bricks you said 16x7 so which is it? if you get a 15mm adapter it'll bring you to et-2 all round. it'll poke out further in the front on a 240 because of the design.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention that they ar BMW pattern 5x120Your a regular on Turbobricks and you come to VS asking about 240 fitment? Fishy post smells fishy.

They are not for saleOn tb I corrected my mistake about them being 16s. They are in fact 15. I'm just looking for some help. I'm talking to a company that can make 15mm adapters. (I got a hold of them today, after posting here) But I'm still not sure how the figment will be. Like I said I'm a noob with wheels. How will 15mm affect my ride/ handling on the 240 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okoye Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 i reckon you're essentially going to have the same tracking Front/Rear as before just, about 28mm wider all round trac after the 15mm spacer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okoye Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 you might have to roll in the front. not sure about the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacrifice Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just sell them to me so I can turn them into a coffee table. 7" wide is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack8745 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 This is for a 240 WAGON and I'm going from 14x5.5! Even running a coffee table would be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
