**Rodeeo** · 02-24-2011 12:26 AM

how big are the spacers you used?

**jerderv** · 02-24-2011 03:20 AM

Im thinking about selling these and running salad shooters with the same adapters to obtain .7" more offset and achieve flushness.

Thanks

5 speed rwd 1991 volvo 240. 2.3l 4cly 50trim t04e turbo. Custom built coilovers and camberplates. I know that im running way bigger tires than most of you guys and i should tell you, you're missing out on some amazing traction 245 40 17s HOOK. If i ran salad shooters i would probably put some 225 45s on there though.

15mm in the front 23mm in the back
The wheels are staggered and i'm running 205 40s in front 215 40s in back.

i'm super happy with the way it's sitting, i am actually having less issues with rubbing now than i was with my 15x8 widened steelies.

**paulx24x** · 03-17-2011 01:35 PM

is this the best size of tire for shooters? 205 40s in front 215 40s in back.

I was gonna go with 195/40/16 in front and ?? in back but I want a nice stretch any help?!

**aoj2108** · 03-17-2011 02:36 PM

a lot of them are installed backwards and they still look good

My dad is a Chevy guy and has had staggered set in the basement for about 15 years now. I think I'm gonna jack him for them

**mtb4life7701** · 04-02-2011 05:03 PM

allot of poke lol especially in the front. Try to find some 8.5s and 205/40s for the front and camber them in as far as they'll go. Or find someone to shave 5mm off your adapters.

duuude. i dont even know if thats going to work for you..is it a 2.0 or a vr? you could possibly make those work with those adapters but with those s drives, they dont stretch well enough to get them to fit in your fenders. not even with a lot of camber

**kushdubber** · 05-10-2011 01:57 PM

I knoow they are huge man. 205s woulda been better..
its a 2.0 shell i just got a full vr swap tho.. I am gonna spray it sooon so maybe ill just rip on my fenders until they are pulled enough.

**roly_vr6** · 05-12-2011 09:08 PM

Thanks bro.:

I'll check it out, and if they make shipping to PR... and its prices!!

**mira_alex** · 05-12-2011 09:31 PM

I paid 300 for mine, and I wouldn't see why they wouldn't ship to PR, and what part you from, yo soy de Coamo.

**X37** · 05-13-2011 12:42 AM

I'm gonna have to research but how hard is 9.5 in the front to fit?

**CP-VW** · 05-13-2011 01:23 AM

From what I have read a 9+ greater on the front is not possible to do. Then again anything is possible.

It takes 15mm adapters and full camber to actually make the 8.5s fit on O.K. on the front... 9.5s just won't work.

yo soy de Hatillo-Arecibo.
como algunas compa~ias no envian a PR no se el por que, primero hay q preguntar a diferencia Matt de Adaptec ha enviado muchos adapters a amigos mios aca.

BTW.: vi tu carro en el Winter Jam y le pregunte al que andaba contigo del MK4 con Corvette wheels tmbn el set up de adapters y no me supo decir. hablamos con el para saber donde consiguio los spacers del motor y estuvimos un rato hablando d eso alli

THANKS!!!!
