SIAMBLUE Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I wanted to know what is the smallest tyre you could put on a 8j rim,Would a 215 be ok or is that asking too much?I really want to get my speedo back into line with calibration,But the tyres i need are 215/35/18s,Also i am thinking of selling my Neb for Tritons what do you think?Keep the Nebs or sell them?NEBULA TRITON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteT5 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I'm sure this'll get moved to cosmetic sometime today, but I'll go ahead and give you my opinion.Get rid of the Nebulas. Get some Propus's or Triton's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I really like the Nebula's, but if you can get your hands on Tritons, then heck yes, get Tritons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAydAy Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Get Tritons, shed the excess weights of the 18"s and get some 17"s, and I'd prefer some 225/40/17"s myself anyways.-andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I like the Nebulas, they are pretty new and not many people have them. Tritons would be nice too, but they look a lot harder to clean.In regards to tires, you can use 215 on an 8" wide rim, but it makes the tire look a little "stretched" to fit on the rim. 225 is really the best width tire to use. Also, why on earth would you use 215/35 tire? The load rating is well under what is recommended for our cars, and you are losing .7" of sidewall height by using 215/35 instead of the recommended 205/45 (stock 17" tire size, which is still a little small IMO). You should be running at least 225/35/18 and 225/40/18 would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebor Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 The only good things about tritons is the price. They're like $100 each. But they weigh a ton! They also look like crap. And they're made by some no name crappy aftermarket wheel company for Volvo. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geevs Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Aren't the Tritons custom-made for Volvo by BBS? And don't they commands top $$$ compared to other Volvo wheels esp since they are 2/3-piece rims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteT5 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I believe the Propus and the Triton get pretty good cash. Here's a pic for inspiration: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebor Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Tritons are some of the rarest and hottest Volvo wheels. Extremely expensive though. And 2-piece, so extra fun mounting tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97Grand Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 If your going for looks, personally, I'd say keep the nebulas. What did these wheels come on, XC90? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
