Default Axle

Looking to do a widebody on my v70 pick up , bodywork is simple but what the best way to bring the wheels out without using spacers?

simplest option is to run new wheels with a different offset. Most FWD Volvos has an ET 40-50 for the stock rims which means the rims center line is offset by 40-50 mm inward from the hub. RWD volvos (like the 700/900s) have ET 20-25 offset, meaning the rims are about 1 to 1 1/2 inches further out vs their FWD cars.

Thanks for the response.
changing wheels isnt really an option as all colour coded to match the truck and origional wheels.
I was thinking about a 3 inch spacer behind the stub axle
what are your thoughts ?

Wider wheels and maybe some fender rolling is your best bet. Spacers are a recipe for disaster on something like that.
