hmm... I've not seen them before, I'd also imagine non-original Volvo.

Don't think they're Peugeots - they're wheels are usually 4x108PCD from memory. 205GTi wheels look different, holes are smaller :)

They look like the 88-89 ish steelies that most 340's had, but the centre cap seems bigger... a prototype for same era 360's maybe?

Welcome to the forum!

The bad news is that the clears and the lowering on that car is a photoshop :( However, it shows that it'd look sweet, even if due to the angle it doesn't look as low as it actually is :)

cheers

Afraid so... but it damn well shows the potential of the 300 series.. that car doesn't even have colour coded bumpers, which I reckon look better!

Good to have more members enthusiastic about the 300 series, good luck in your search for your car! :)

thanks :D , im hoping to put a set of fairly reasonable sized rims on it and a suspension coilover kit with springs included (if there is a kit out that exists :| ) then it will show the 300's isnt just a breed of rust buckets dying out.

17s will fit while retaining the stock tyre size...and it's been done. I run 15s, and I'd probably run 16s if I could get Volvo rims in that size.

Lowering kits are a problem...the rear suspension design is such that you can't lower it properly easily, and there certainly aren't "kits" available. Various people have done it though, so its possible - just as with all the performance parts for these cars, you won't find them listed in the back of Max Power!

cheers

hope your not thinking me as a chav by saying max power :shock: , i just like cars lower gets rid of the gap between the arches, but i was mostly wanting to go with performance on suspension by means of fairly hard springs & strut braces, i just want to minimize roll in the car when entering a corner as i would like to get this car properly sideways sometimes :mrgreen: .

thanks
