The car is an 84 Volvo 245 with a mild 5.0 V8. Here is a quick auto-x video someone shot from last weekend. http://s181.photobucket.com/albums/x110/jstein77/?action=view¤t=0221101323-01.flv
Ive searched a bit but have a couple questions on the offsets etc. This is the only real direct thread regarding it. http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=156027&highlight=corvette+wheels I know my options as far as aftermarket and stock wheels go. I already have 16X7 Momo wheels running 225/45/16 tires.
It might not make a whole lot of sense but I want to run C4 Corvette "Sawblade" wheels on my wagon. I know I need an adapter for the 5x108 to the Chevy 5x4.75 (5.120.65), but i'm sure it could be made. I need to figure if what size the adapters need to be. The Corvette rims have a 56mm offset and are 17X8.5 up front and 17X9.5 rear. The other option would be sourcing four 8.5 front wheels.
Question is can be made to work and what size adapters will I need to run. I understand that some fender modifications may be necessary and I may need to streach the rear tires to fit. I was hoping to run 225s up front and 245s rear. This will not be my auto-x setup but just for looks running street rubber. I understand 245gti makes custom adapters?
Thanks for the help and inputs.
