So my sbc 350 v8 swapped volvo is almost done (build thread coming), im wrapping up the exhaust, wiring, and still procrastinating on power steering.
Needless to say, with 10:1 compression, "ported" heads, mild cam and rpm performer intake, holley sniper EFI and a heavy foot, my rear tires don't have much to say except "SKRRTTTTTTT". One tire fire baby...
So once the burnout contests are through and the smoke clears, I want some more traction.
I currently have stealies on it that came with it, and a tired set of 185/70-r14 perelli p4's.
I was thinking of replacing the rears with Virgo turbos, but at over $150 each on ebuy "refurbished", i looked into other options as well.
I found some american racing outlaw ii's with 5x108 pattern, 14x7 size and 0mm offset.
I know pretty much nothing about rims so here goes: 240's supposedly have a 20mm offset, so these AR outlaws would stick out an extra 20mm, which would help the fact I'm thinking i want to use atleast 205mm width, which is 8.07", much wider than the stock 5.5" width i got now. Right?
Set me straight TB
