Those arent very flush, they're a little sunken, mostly up front.

The RF is more flush than the LF, due to the front end being tweaked after my little mishap at SE 5.0 :)

ET12 MSWs with 23mm adapters on the rear.
http://www.pbase.com/towerymt/image/93619972.jpg

The rears are a little tucked in here at 9.5 ET3.
http://www.pbase.com/towerymt/image/97354519.jpg

The first picture I posted was with 26mm adapters stacked under the 35mm for a total of 61mm...ET(-23) total and the tire still cleared the rear fender lip...barely. As soon as we started driving back to the camp ground, it was squeaking over every bump. The 245/45 fit with the 51mm adapters off the front, though. But the 265/275s only fit with the 35mm rear adapters.

I think I'm going to get thinner adapters for the front to reduce the scrub as much as possible.

you would have to work pretty hard to get a "flush" volvo.

i, too frequent fatlace, and "flush" wouldnt exist here, these guys DRIVE their cars.

i do not frequent hella flush. i went there for reference. yea it will take offsets in the negatives to be near flush, on the 2xx chassis

and 700.

[jungledorifuto]

much less than the 2xx

[caffnated_madness]

well ive never been to a HF event, as i am in wisconsin...but streetkarnage is on the FL forums...seeing a flush 2xx would be something else tho. something i should look into ;-)

[BoxDriver2]

much less than the 2xx

ET0 or less. Not much less by any means, mine are in the low sub zero figures.

I've seen 240s with ET0 and it looks damn near flush to me.

[jungledorifuto]

i have two 18x9.5 +12's waiting to be mounted on top of 25mm spacers for the rear. my 30mm spacers and well most 0-20et wheels should sit nice up front aswell.

2xx and 7xx look better tucked anyway

[jungledorifuto]

flush is a wheel that is flush with the upper most part of the wheel well. it should NOT have positive camber obviously, therefore protruding more so as the fender well comes downward and inward.

After checking out Hella Flush and seeing the tire stretch on this Lexus...the term "pink sock" comes to mind. :barf:

I'm glad theres a few people here that understand this. Also, there is a lot of fail in this thread.

Ahhh, I think I get it now, not flush as in a wheel with essentially no dish eh?

So you looking for something like this?

That crx is slammed!

[RvolvoR]

see, the problem with having most RWD volvos sit herra frush is that they are live axle cars, so negative camber does not increase as the wheel travels up...therefore having the face of the wheel sit flush w the fender lip or even slightly out from it can cause some issues...

See below.
SUPASECKSAY as always! Only you would have stretched winter tires. :rofl:Stretched winter tires make a lot of sense though! They have to be soft and squishy, so why not stretch the skinniest tires you can on some fat wheels and enjoy some better response than the same skinniest tires mounted on some similarly skinny wheels? Main thing is contact patch. Or at least a chunk of it anyway.
driveable, no bumps, no problems, irs+negative camberAka, barely/not really. Then again, people running like that go through rear tires in 2000mi anyway due to the amount of camber. It's a way of life(and waste).

Here're my no flush(ET 10.5R and 13.5F 7.5" wide) and my flush submissions(ET-7):

[jungledorifuto]

i'd say if daily driven on -5 degrees camber you'll get at least 7k out of a 300 treadwear tire. if you put a higher performance tire on a daily with that camber yea, dumb. most that run that type of stance either do it for the photoshoot or track the car 80% of the time, going through 2-4 pairs on average a daily event

Absolutely agreed. Tuck > flush.

I guess I'm not clued in to the JDM DORI scene, but this flush **** seems pretty stupid on several levels.

[exexpat]

The paint was a little thin on the sides of the expansion tank cap and one could see the lovely turquoise color through it (I think that is what he meant). Yes it has been fixed since Sunday evening. I did the engine wrinkle black treatment and plastic painting on saturday night without great lighting and with great alcohol.

[exexpat]

Absolutely agreed. Tuck > flush.

I guess I'm not clued in to the JDM DORI scene, but this flush **** seems pretty stupid on several levels.

This is what the US-based German tuning scene thought in the a mid-to-late 1990's, so it makes sense given the infancy of Volvo tuning that you wouldn't have acquired a taste for it.

[caffnated_madness]

i like flush, but is harder to achieve on 2xx's because the body would be higher off of the ground. if they made a tasteful lip kit flush would be really nice. otherwise tuck is where 2xx's are at.

[jungledorifuto]

the inner fender wel design does now allow you're correct, for any other purposes than a still photoshoot. hower can someone pleaaaasee reveal the 740t man's wide body silver/blue 740.

I like stretch but flush isn't a priority in my style preferences.

Exexpat is not one to omit a detail when it comes to his cars.That's what I was expecting, and as Pat explains, he had some more touch-up to do. I figured it had just recently been done. A cool idea, and one that I hadn't seen before. :) I'm not sure I would try for matching the interior, but the krinkle black on some of the engine stuff is cool.

Why would you get wider front spacers than rear? Unless your wheel offset is different front to back.

bingo.. my front are +17 my rears are 0

That is what stiff suspension is for, so when you hit bumps the wheels dont hit the fender.

[exexpat]

That is what stiff suspension is for, so when you hit bumps the wheels dont hit the fender.

Germans have been using polyurethane suspension limiters (bumpstops) since around the early 1990s to effectively reduce suspension compression and ensure that tires do not rub on the fenders. A German car cannot pass annual TUeV inspection if the tires rub. There is no standard for ride quality in TUeV testing though ;)

[Chris_R]

What is the white one? Obviously a Toyota, but year/model?

They're all Corollas(aka AE86 depending on what it started out as), just different body styles. I assume '83/'84, but haven't actually looked into them.

hell yes looking good jungledorifuto just need to go a bit lower hehehe

yea its easily done on solid axle cars.. i thought there would be more 240 that were flush..

The paint was a little thin on the sides of the expansion tank cap and one could see the lovely turquoise color through it (I think that is what he meant). Yes it has been fixed since Sunday evening. I did the engine wrinkle black treatment and plastic painting on saturday night without great lighting and with great alcohol.
Yeah I noticed that at the show too, although it didn't look TOO bad.

And ahh, you caught my ratty left front turn signal in that photo.:oops:
That's what happens when a customer at the shop who's lift you use pulls off your turn signal and then jams it back on, until it falls off on the highway at 100mph a day later.:grrr:


Anyways, Hydras with 32mm adapters...:oogle:

ET12 MSWs with 23mm adapters on the rear.

The rears are a little tucked in here at 9.5 ET3.
http://www.pbase.com/towerymt/image/97354519.jpg

The first picture I posted was with 26mm adapters stacked under the 35mm for a total of 61mm...ET(-23) total and the tire still cleared the rear fender lip...barely. As soon as we started driving back to the camp ground, it was squeaking over every bump. The 245/45 fit with the 51mm adapters off the front, though. But the 265/275s only fit with the 35mm rear adapters.

I think I'm going to get thinner adapters for the front to reduce the scrub as much as possible.

[Chigga 744SE]

but pretty much no one's fitment is flush.

exepat's wheels are pretty flush as it can go, those Cayenne wheels are poking a tiny bit.

The hardest part is like everyone said, the lack of IRS for our fenders, our fenders are 350z shape, you can't sit flush with a 350z unless you run -2 cambers or so.

I don't get it, I'd rather move the wheels in some and tuck them. :e-shrug:.

put 15 miles or so on it like this barely rubs

[jungledorifuto]

well yea that's the immediate plan, in the pics i have the rear wheels adapted/spaced out a total of 70MM. the fronts are at -15. once i remove the two 5x108 to 5x108 35mm spacers from the rear they'll tuck just fine with the 205/50s. an effective -15 offset.

the goal for spare wheels is to run some of those -10 16x9 starions in the back and the 16x8 +18 starions in the front. all white. 205/45s al around. a 2" drop all around from where its at now aswell. coleman racing is my friend

all 16s are jsut my dorifuto spares.

16x8s on all 4 at -45 in the rear. 2 rounds off wagon springs (yea lame) in the rear and modified perches with some honda 400lb eibachs up front. a good 2" drop in the rear from stock and 3" in the front

Also, with a solid rear axle, you kind of need super stiff suspension to get real flush without destroying your fenders on a bump.

yeah, for volvo standards there's some winners in this thread.

205's? that's it? :omg: I run wider tires on my wagon with a pushed in rear fender.

[jungledorifuto]

that was for the haters. tire size concepts are different for an optimal drifting setup. 205/45s all around are more for when the car is lowered i can get mininum clearance all around while still clearing! however on the proper size wheels for optimal control i would rather have a 235/245/40 up front with a 255/35 stretched in the rear. another benifit to stretching the proper tire with the proper air pressure it actually makes transitioning smoother, more predictable and much less prone to rollling over onto the shoulder like a square tire would

[rancidponymilk]

yeah, they do look a little weird because they're narrow, but its better than being sunken a couple inches like most 240 rears.

yes that is a good thing about 2xx, they can support a huge wheel like 18x12 19x10 17x12 easy. well not soooo easy but easy

[Volvorules]

yes that is a good thing about 2xx, they can support a huge wheel like 18x12 19x10 17x12 easy. well not soooo easy but easy

You're joking, right? What 240 have you seen with 17X12s that didn't have a ton of work done to fit it?

[jungledorifuto]

well yes. ohhhh sorry i was referring to running the rims with tiny little jdm tires.

[Captain Bondo]

well yes. ohhhh sorry i was referring to running the rims with tiny little jdm tires.

Dude, just stop already. I don't care how "jdm" your tires are, you cannot stretch a tire enough to fit a 17x12 on a 240 without a spectacular amount of fender work. Stop going on about stuff you know nothing about.

This is what a 10.5" wide et 12 on a 240 with a stock fender looks like:

http://www.pbase.com/capnbondo/image/79912549/large.jpg


Now add another 1.5" outwards. Forget it, you'd need at least 2" just to sorta fit a very stretched tire in there, really more like 3" or 4", which is NOT minor.

You are going on about how easy all of this is while people with wheels that are actually that big are laughing at you (and there's only maybe 6 of us that post very much).

[jungledorifuto]

i wasnt saying they would clear with super low offsets nor have i said once that the extreme low offsets are better for a performance street app i specifically was referring to what I want for my OWN volvo. how much clearance do you have on the inside? more than enough.


i havent brought up jdm BS i was exaggerating. I do know more than nothing about what you speak of. Thanks for passing judgement though!

[Captain Bondo]

i wasnt saying they would clear with super low offsets


ET12 is a very high offset for a 10.5" wide rim on a 240. You need et -3 or so actually. My diff is 19mm wider per side, so these end up like et-7.



how much clearance do you have on the inside? more than enough.

Wrong again. Like I said, et-3, maybe et 0 is as high as you can go on offset. Here is a pic I have of clearance to the trailing arm. It's maybe 0.5", so maybe I could go in 1/4". it also hits the innder frame rail if you go much closer, modding the trailing arm doesn't buy you much.


http://www.pbase.com/capnbondo/image/79524247/large.jpg



Got buy a 12" wide rim and stick inside a volvo fender well and report back.

It will need major mods.

[jungledorifuto]

my reference to extremely low offset was somelike like -20 to -50

I got a VW plastic flare from the junkyard ~5yr ago but never followed through with mounting them on the car. They will only reduce tire clearance unless the lip is cut off and they're just glued on, so I decided against it.

sounds like an opinion to mee, the wider stance will provide more clearance for steering angle, more control
And more tire scrub...reduced grip. BTDT.

yes that is a good thing about 2xx, they can support a huge wheel like 18x12 19x10 17x12 easy. well not soooo easy but easy
:lol:

10" is easy with a ~1.5" pull over about 1/3 of the rear arch. 12" with a lot of stretch could sort of go under the fender lip if it were pulled out as much as possible, but at that point the quarter panel becomes distorted and it just doesn't look right. For 12", I'd want to add material along the top of the quarter panel, next to the trunk. The ~1.5" pull like what Rob and I did to our cars, plus 2" spliced in along the top would cover 12"s and it would look "right". But that's probably 50+ hours of work. Bne spent a lot of hours on his rear fenders. Rob and I can knock out a minor pull in about 6hr total, for BOTH sides, and tuck 10" wheels. That's enough for most people, and it doesn't have to significantly hurt the paint if you're careful.

I've got all the stretch I need...but I'm running 245s all around.

different flares than i have then. The ones im using aren't glued nor are they secured anywhere on the fender well. yet they're still secured!! they wil provide a good 30mm more " over fender" when trimmed and done

And more tire scrub...reduced grip. BTDT. not sure what you mean here, mine do not scrub and how is a wider track up front bad for grip?


What do you have that's 120 tread wear? why? i actually have plenty of street radials that are under 200 treadwear

Either I wasn't clear, or you work fast. My guess of 50+hr is to widen the quarter panel along the top and pull the arch to cover 12" wheels. It seems like a lot of work to me to cut apart the panel, cut and weld in material, pull & brace the arch, fill in the gaps around the edges of the arch, grind, bondo, sand, prime, and paint.

Ah ok- maybe you're talking about how it was done on that dark green 242 with the wide steelies where the fenders are basically cut off entirely around the door frames and material added in. If so, yeah, that's like, a week per side. I couldn't do that in 50 hours if I was doing more JDM amphetamines than out buddy mr 120 treadwear.

If you are talking about how BNE/I did it (we did it pretty much exactly the same way from what i can tell) by just cutting the arch off and adding a couple inches of material in, then no, 50 hours is old folks home material. Time to buy one of those rascals with a custom welding attachment.

OK, now we're on the same page. ;-) Bne = old folks material.

We were going to do his front fenders by slicing along the trim line, then making a vertical cut down through the top of the arch and then pull the whole mess out til it covered 10"s and add material as needed. There would have been a triangle shaped shelf added to the fender just below the trim line. You'd be surprised how bad it looks when you try to pull a stock fender to cover 10"s. Hence, domo fenders were born.

I don't remember exactly many hours I spent on my front fenders, but it was easy and effective, although not as visually appealing. About an hour of prep time (scrape undercoat, grind off paint, etc), an hour of hammering & trimming, and a few hours for bondo, sanding, and painting. <20hr, and probably a lot quicker now that I have a plan and know what the end result will look like. My core fenders were in a wreck and slightly bent, so I didn't spend a lot of time making them show quality in prep for spray paint.

Yeah i went through the same process. Eas thinkg the same- the elongated triangle along the top, with roughly a 2" vertical strip of metal added right in the middle of the arch.

I like the idea but on a 244/245 you can't really do the rears that way so I abandoned it.

they're re090's. why am i stupid you dumb fuc k? meaningless name calling is stupid. talkin **** just because someone on here FINALLY ISNT COPYING SOMEONE ELSE is stupid. you're stupidIt had to be said.

I know you want to feel special, but you're not doing something new that hasn't already been "copied". Towery's been doing it for years, he just didn't feel it was JDM enough to make a thread about it. Look at europe, multiple examples. Look at me, I've run it before, I'm just struggling to find the pictures.

And if we're talking about a tread rating of 120, and someone asks what tires you're running, why the hell would you say "potenza" and leave it at that? There are millions of different Potenza tires out there, and that tells no one anything.

What thread are you referring to me me starting? I hope it isn't this one.

I didn't specify at first because what does your brain have to do with what tire i'm running? Honestly, tell me the exact reason any of you even care to ask. I already know the reason (that goes for all haters/you all).

Seriously, what the **** are you babbling about?

[towerymt]

It's always nice to see a new combination of interesting wheels on a shabby 240. I've been doing it for years.

Next up for my car will be some plain looking, but multi-colored 5 spoke Firebird wheels. They are 16x8 ET55, so they will actually be moved IN on the front rather than spaced way out like the 16x9.5 ET38. Tires will be the 245/45 Hankook RS2. Ideally a wide wheel on the front will be very close to the strut tube to reduce scrub. The old 265/45 V710s will go on the polished Corvette wheels and I've already got 275/45 Hoosier A6 already mounted on the Work wheels.

Little tires suck. I've got a second set of 265/45 V710s if anyone wants some bigboys. They will go on an 8", but it ain't pretty.

Me too. Point was nobody has wheels big enough so there's no point in me offering them here.

Like that guy that posted a pair of 305/30/18 R3S05 and Bne responded. He's the only one I know of who has wheels big enough and could fit that size on a volvo.

[Captain Bondo]

Have a look side by side and tell me which one is going to have more contact patch and squirm less.

This is almost flush wheeled ?

The new tires should make it look a little more flush

[tomwas]

Ended up looking kind of flush, seems the left rear is farther out than the r rear....

[Quin]

i can only conclude that most of TB is taking "flush" by the definition and not the concept.

[Captain Bondo]

I could run another ~30mm of tire width quite easily as well. I'd rather not on 10.5" wide rims though... 275-295 is perfect imo.

[eiriksmil]

Some cars in here are really nice. Others aren't exactly what I call flush. I see people saying that the shape of the arches is a problem for the 2- and 740s. A little arch rolling will cure that. I saw someone mentioned that when you have yours wheels sitting flush, the car will be too high. Go down on wheel and tire size then. I've got about 1.5" pan clearance on my jap car, that's more than enough..
Gotta fill those arches out, boys.

Perfect fitment in the rear, shoulda been a different angle on the pic so you could see the front too:

[eiriksmil]

Yeah, sweet as hell. It's not mine though, I wish it was. I'd never state that my own car has "perfect fit" on wheels though, can't really get more arrogant than that. That 240 is from Japan, where they know a thing or two about how to make their wheels look good. Trying to source more pics of it, but so far nothing.

I'm just waiting out 'til I have some space and need a new daily, then it's a 240 for me I guess.. How does 9Jx16 ET0 out back sound? Only shame about 240s, getting coilovers ain't exactly a piece of cake.

Do you plan to pull the quarter panel away from the inner panel to make the wheel well wider? 9" ET0 is easy if you pull the panel out. If not, the car will have to be very high, the tires very narrow, and the wheel very far into the wheel well.

Or run really stiff suspension. I had a 17x9 et0 on the back of my 240 under a stock fender. But the super soft stock suspension made the tire hit the fenders over bumps.

May be a retarded question, but what are these wheels? and what sizes?

[Offset]

My wheels are Swedish made. Called JP Mk18 and they are 17x8,5".
They are very popular here in Sweden but quite rare because they don't make them anymore.
For 4 rims in good condition they cost ~2200 usd or more. And that wasn't a retarded question ;)

[Sterren]

JP MK18 they are called, JP as the brand and mk18 is the model.
17 x 8.5 or 17x7 are standars dimensions

[240trainee]

Ah, alright. Just saw them on a few cars, figured they might be a "standard wheel" with volvo's or something.

Offset??

The S90 on nebulas with 25mm spacers on the front. They rub the arch liners a bit (ok, loads) under compression, but it's better than the rim grinding against the strut (:wtf:) as they were with the 5mm spacers I was using before.

I was gonna source some thinner spacers, but I think I'll just remould the liners a bit because the look has kinda grown on me :lol:

[Offset]

Ah, alright. Just saw them on a few cars, figured they might be a "standard wheel" with volvo's or something.

I think the offset is 0 on the 8.5" wide version

[klr142]

I think the offset is 0 on the 8.5" wide versionHeh, nice! Do you have them spaced out further than that? What size tires are you running? Looks great!

[Offset]

Heh, nice! Do you have them spaced out further than that? What size tires are you running? Looks great!

Thanks! :)
Nope, no spacers. Right now it's 225/35 -17 tyres. But I think I'm gonna go with 215/35 -17
