Why din'cha have the set widened before powdercoating? Or are they? Purday though.

Oh shoot, yeah... I remember him saying that he did it himself, and wishing I was that brave.

I guess they're just not quite as wide as I'd go, so I assumed they weren't widened.

They are 6 inches wide now...I could have gone for 7 but you run into rubbing problems if you don't change the offsets etc, so I just went with 6's. With strong arm steering, there is only so far that I would want to go with tire width anyway - for this car 205-60's is what I'm shooting for.

I dunno about allowed. I'd say they have no desire to go there...

meah like i said before, raz or whoever screens thought I was a bot or some such...so I honestly thought this place was dead or something, as I could not get member status. Volvospeed....least they weren't telling me to take off my air filter!!!! ;) but...i kinda wore off as a novelty there. To be honest, I like this place better. I just had that thread bookmarked cause I really really do like that grill. I think it's sexy. I do have a slight urge to play pimp my volvo...but...just to the give me an mp3 player, do some suspension tweaking (not lowering...calgary roads + lowering on a daily driver = badness) tint would be nice, clear turn flicky lights would be sassy, new grill...

oh yeah, and after my parents move outta cold lake, i'll replace that winshield. I just see no reason to now because highway 28 is my new road to Tremblent...(when I lived in ottawa, every time I drove miss viv over to tremblent for some skiing goodness...i would get a new rock chip)

yeah, that bigass chip that spread that everybody noticed at the meet...yeah. FIRST DAY of official ownership of muh car...comin down highway 28....THUNK.
