Hey there, I have a 1994 Volvo 850 Turbo, I was wondering does the car look good with 17" or 18" rims without lowering it? Does anyone know if its better to go with 17' or 18"? I was looking at the replica R rims on IPD, I know there is a price difference in tires for the different rims but I wasnt sure if it was worth the money to go with the bigger rims? Also its a white car would black rims look good on it? Any pics with cars with rims lowered and not lowered would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help!

 

The car would look the same just with a bigger rim. If you want it to look more aggressive, you may want to consider lowering it.

 

I would also consider the condition of your roads in your area, if they're pretty rough, I wouldn't do 18's. IMO, doing rims without lowering the car looks kinda goofy. If your going to do wheels, do it right and lower it too.

 

Be careful too, I have 16's and I tag the fender well now and then.

 

Lowered stock wheels.


Lowered aftermarket wheels.


Wifes car stock height and stock 17 inch wheels.

 

Just kinda sorta hi-jack this guys thread.... but....
Whats the max width we can go? Curious since if I look online I dont wish to buy ones that are to wide. Had some 18x8's from my previos Rx-8 but sold 'em, curious if I should be kicking my self in the rear yanno lol

 

tech runs 215 45 17 and says they dont rub

 

I run the same width as stated ^^ above and there's NO rubbing!

 

That stance is prime tech. I kinda like it better with the stockers on it though.

 

On my t5r i have 18 x 8 inch rims and run a 215/40/18 inch tire. The car is lowered with Bilstein HD's and Eibach lowering springs. Car only rubs in front once in a long while. It doesn't do any damage. Their is a couple of pictures somewhere in the car gallery. Hope this helps.
