Is your front suspension tight?
The track difference between the front and back of the 240 series are 70mm, so 35mm either side at the rear, so if you thinking of making the virgos sit flush with the body , you will be looking at 55mm rear spacers if you use 20mm fronts. The other option is wider wheels. The other option is staggered wheels that are an inch wider at the back , so 20mm fronts and 30mm at the rear.
I've only asked this question about 20x with no responses....nice to see a before/after rear spacer shot....such a sharp car too. I do see a (albeit) subtle difference....but that's the best kind. Did you have any issues with clearance (like having to roll the lip)?
I'm going to be running 15x7's and was thinking of going the full 35mm in the backs....might have to be a tad less since the rims are 7" wide......got awhile before Spring to think on it. Would be nice to see something spaced even more (with the fronts done too).
I'd never do 2 different width wheels for rotation reasons. Had 245's on the front and 255's on the back of a Monte Carlo SS I had years ago. Looked the shtz but was expensive in the long haul.
Did you have any issues with clearance (like having to roll the lip)?
My 240 had some rubbing with virgo+195/65 air ride tires+23 mm spacers.
Volvo has a document that describes how to cut the rear wheel arch lip to clear the wheels when the r-sport spacer kit is fitted.
Excellent info...thanks. Is this R-Sport document posted anywhere?
btw....is there anyplace that does fender rolling? I've seen a very pro looking tool that does this (bolts to the hub) but no idea where to find one...or better yet - someone who does it.
Question, are spacers safe?
