These look great on your car in person too.

Slammed some RH-s under the 740 with adapters. I guess they're okay. Thought its worth sharing, have never seen those under volvo. 17x8 and effective offset 7mm rear 12mm front. 215/45/17 tyres.

I had a set of MiniLites fabricated in the UK for my '89 back in the day...



I've just recently added an '85 240 GLT to the garage and the PO had his Turbos powder coated black...



The Goodyear Eagle RSAs really make the look...



Cheers Mates,

Where do you get these.. What are the specs?

8,5 x 17" ET 6 and 5x108. 18" are available new from Sweden (eg. th-petterson, scstyling) with the same offset and width.
I felt 17" would suite me better, so I got these second hand.

I picked these up from 5x108 heavyweight on Instagram for the 242 a while ago. They are 17x8.5 and 17x9. Ill have to do some cutting and rolling in the rear to get them to fit, and so far I just haven't had the time to work on that this season. Hopefully I'll get them on the car next year.

Ah ok. I thought they were original 17x8 ET20 or smth.

In winter the 242 runs a stock set of 15x6 Virgos (easy to clean)

In summer I prefer the 16x7 BBS RA.

Even though I've had the car 10 years those are the only two sets of wheels that have ever been on it.

The Bertone sits on 15x7 Multi-X right now, until I find something more fun.

I have a set of the original 262C wheels too, but one is badly damaged.

The V70R is currently on stock 17" Satelites

I have a set of Tritons and a set of Neptunes in storage waiting for me to care enough to buy tires and throw them on, but I don't have photos of them.

Do you use 25mm spacers for the Bertone on multi x wheels? I couldn't get them to fit without a spacer.

What tires are you running with these?

 

[Acke]

What tires are you running with these?

215/45R17 in the front and 225/45R17 in the back at the moment. I'll probably go 225/45 all around for next summer since 215/45 is too narrow for those rims to pass inspection.

Finally got my hands on a set of 5x108 AZEV A in good specs.
17x8 ET24 and 17x8.5 ET23

Got some nice 205/45 that will wrap around nicely.

I love the center caps. Did you make them?

Nice! I’d go wider on the rubber, though.

Got them with these caps. Probably will swap them with actual Azev caps tho. I like that look better.

Maybe in the future I will, but I have these laying around and need the Volvo on the wheels as I'm rebuilding my BBS this winter.
