The ****lord scene kid look is not tolerated in TB, by and large. Best of luck making your car worse.

You want to be a standout like all the other snowflakes with the exact same look, huh? Special.

a stanced Volvo actually wouldn't be anything new. It would be the same thing as all the other stanced Volvos on widened steel wheels.

Use the search. There are several threads about this.

But better yet, do something different and cooler than a played out fad. Use your noodle and your passion to build something that is an extension of your being, and not an extension of someone else's being which happened to end up as a cool picture on instagram that you then decided that it also represented an extension of your unique being, even though it was supposed to be an extension of their being.

Or just search and copy the guy that did it the best.
 
You guys are something else, I want specs.....Not your negative inputs, and what do you mean don't follow trends​ all I asked is for wheel specs you don't even know what I have planned for my car so plz step down unless you have the answers I need
 
Yeah...none of us are gear heads. :roll: really though this is TURBObricks. Majority of us wanna go fast(admittedly most wanna do it cheap) more than have deep dish stance slow cars. They exist here but are far and few.
 
GO GET A TAPE MEASURE AND A STRAIGHT EDGE, learn how to use it. Then open computer, open browser, type www.google.com, and search for an offset calculator. Start with measuring your stock wheels (backspace-width=offset) and break out a pad and pen, do some maths, and hey you have stance now.
 
well, for starters you'd need to choose a wheel and simply do some measurements. i find 16-17" wheels fill the wells pretty good. i run 8" wide wheels ET16 front and ET0 rear with 1" adapters. I also run 195/50/16 rear tires and 195/45/16 tires in the front

the car isn't ruined. it drives wonderfully.

for those that are wondering this is getting LS swapped too... and has all custom built rear suspension. Not one rubber bushing left, all heim joints and spherical bearings.
