Default 1999 Volvo S70 .....17x8 PEGS?????

Hey guys,
I've got a question that I'm hoping someone here can help me with.

I've got a 99 Volvo S70, and I just picked up a very clean set of 17x8 PEGS.

I've been reading, and apparently they are too wide for my car. Is this correct?

Is there any way I can get them to work?

Also, while I'm here, I'm looking for an R front bumper.

Thanks,
Sharaz

Dealership or Viva Performance for the R bumper.

I think the Pegs will fit no problems.

That would be awesome! Do you what size tires would fit these rims?

I'll check out Viva Performance.

Thank you very much!

My car is black, and the rims are bright silver.

Any ideas on the size of tires that I should be looking for?

I can't wait to get them on the car.

I have 18x8's with 225/40/18 Fuzions on my 98 S70 T-5 and the fronts rub just a tad while at full lock on the inner fender well lining. Other then that there is no rubbing. Fuzions are kinda of loud though but really no big deal.

I have them on my 98 with 225/40/17's and they fit fine, although they do rub a little at times.

For the bumper I'd check out Tasca, shipped very quickly and good customer support. That's who I ordered mine through.

Nice, thank you.

I purchased a set of new tires, and had them installed on the Pegs.

I absolutely love how they look on the car!

Thank you all for your help.
