Max wheel size

YES 18'S WILL FIT ON A 95. I HAVE INSTALLED 19 X 8.5 39 MM OFF SET WITH 235/35/19 ON A 91 SHO, SOME TRIMMING IS REQUIRED ON THE BACK FENDER LIPS OF COURSE, BUT THAT IS REQUIRED FOR ANY DECENT SIZE TIRE OTHER THAN THE SKINNY FACTORY DONUTS. :naughty:

so, let's say in theory i met a guy with a S60R volvo with gunmetal 18in stock wheels and he mentioned after i commented that i liked the wheels, he was planning on getting an aftermarket set and would probably let me have them for around 100 a piece with the rubber on them (bridgestones i think). i looked up the offset to be +48, does this mean i'm gonna need a spacer and longer studs? how big of a spacer? 6-8mm?

I'm running 17x8s with a 245/45/17 tire. The only rub issue I have is on my in fender CAI. Anyone want to buy it?

you should probably only sell stuff in the classified section. especially when it has nothing to do with wheels, tires, interior, body, or cosmetic mods.

plus, this thread is about 18x8 wheels not 17x8s.

I think with a +48mm you will need longer studs.

I believe that I bought these from you a while back.
Is this true?

I'm not trying to sell it. I'm just saying that the tire size fits on a gen2. If I had 18x8s, I'd run a 245/40.
