TBM Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Could someone please photoshop the XC90 replicas on my S70?The rims:The car:(I prefer this pic)Feel free to do any combo of rim pics with car pics. Also, if someone could do a "lowering" job on top of it, that would be extra. Thanks a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBM Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Thanks NA850...I thought they'd look a bit bigger (since they're 19s), and the color finish is silver...I think in real life, they're much brighter.EDIT: Something like this...

TheOtherWhiteMeat Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 When do we get to see this in real life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBM Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Thanks a bunch OWM...man, that looks sizzlin'! Awesome job.When? As soon as the snow clears, ie. Early Spring.EDIT: I already started gathering some of the things I need...I just ordered a set of new style Volvo centre caps.Other things I need:- lowering springs- spacers: 5mm front, 15mm rear- XC90 19" rims- 225/35/19 General UHP Exclaim tires- extended lugs (12 x 1.75 thread pitch)- hubcentric rings (67mmx65.1mm)I think that should do it.

exexpat Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I love these wheels. And the fact they need spacers means that hardly anyone will ever buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherWhiteMeat Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 5mm should work for the front, but they will hit a bit on the inner wells. I had some 25mm spacers machined down to 8mm, and don't really hit the wells except on the passenger side on full right lock. The driver's side on 850s anyway sticks out a few mm more than the passenger side. Just be sure not to run too much tire. I run 215/35's on mine, and everything is great.

I want a bit of sidewall. Jim, Even though I like the look of your 215s, a little curb protection is always a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exexpat Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Why is that? Extra cost?Not just the money, it's still too hard for most people and generally people in North America still fear spacers. Trust me, if there wasn't a dependency on spacers, you would see these on several cars by now. The design fits the car perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
