I can see it. If it is a crappy shot from the front 1/4 ish, anyway...
Does this thing move around? R6s? No street tires? Is it a racecar now? They're going to be allowing wagons down here now, so...
Nice, I see the upper shot now too. I saw those wheels and was quite tempted, but they're an inch larger than I need and at least half an inch too skinny if I remember correctly. Sweet wheels regardless, nice score.

Dude Adrian those wheels look killer! They completely transform a car. I put some 17" BBS's on my car last fall and fell in love all over again.
So you gonna holset that thing or WAT?
I thought this vehicle was crushed. the owner never seems to be around....
Good plan.Usually I think 18"s is just too much wheel for a 240 unless the thing is literally scraping on the ground, so my answer is to scrape the ground.
Oops. Cannot co-exist with Good Plan.They're just wide enough to get some 255s on there, which according to the tape measure looks like about all that I can fit without getting slightly crazy with the BFH on the fenders.
Bah humbug. Leave it dirty and come down to hang out for a couple hours, aint no thang.If I'm feeling frisky Saturday night I'll try and clean it up and make it down, we'll see when we get closer.
They're 8s. What's the offset on them Adrian? Regardless, 245/35s should be perfect height, and should squeeeeze onto the 8" wheels. Hopefully the offset plays out nicely, you may not need to play with the hammer much at all.245/35/18 are nice and short. Kumho V710 have very rounded shoulders which helps with fender clearance. How wide are those wheels? Hope they're at least 8".
i had no idea you had a volvo much less a bad a 240 16v. I'm impressed, i always thought you were just a big meanie.

We need a Bellinghamcouver meet soon- it's been too long.
needs moar moviefilms.
you get one star until boosted.
245/35 are pretty common on stock class RX8s, so go make friends. Although some will pinch 285s on the 8x18. The guys driving new F-stock Shelbys run 295/30/18, but I think their stock wheels might be 8.5". Bne had 245/35/18 on his 8x18 LMs until they corded and I finally heckled him enough to put wider wheels/tires on the front. They cleared fine up front on basically stock fenders (occasional rubbing at the front of the fender arch because his control arms are adjusted for a lot of caster, moving the wheel forward in the fender).I'll trust you've been down this road before. Basically I'm just on the hunt for scrounging tires in the local auto-x & rr circuits, so whatever comes up cheapest first I'll probably try to make fit.
