Buddy of mine turned in his lease on a 2004 or so s60??? He gave me these rims cause I'm such a cool friend.

Anyway, bolt pattern is the same as mine, and I know I'd need spacers, but the question is, Are these too wide?? They look like 10 inch wide rims.

PLEASE tell me that these will fit!!!!!

I'm sure they'll fit one way or the other. May need fender lip curling.

However, I don't think I would put 17" wheels on 11" brake rotors.

Yea, I was looking at that big brake kit somewhere, but don't remember where. I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Free wheels=more money for spacers and such, but what is the cost to have fender lip curled????

It just sounds expensive..............

And how would that look????????????

The Discount Tire man said he cold fit 20", 22", whatever, on my '86. Just a matter of money ;-).

Check out this monster.

Do you think that is a bolt on kit :grin:

I know that 17 in height is good, but it's the 10 inches wide I'm woried about.

I'm going to do a mock fit sometime this week, to see clearance issues, and find out if the 28mmfront/32mm back spacer seems like it will work.

Also, I looked it up, and for 50 bucks you can roll your own fenders by renting tthe tool. Seems pretty straight forward. I'll have to take some pics of this if it works.

Anyone wanna let me test it out on thier car???

I'm starting to think that these free wheels are going to cost me a ton of cash. Spacers, roller, big brake kit, suspension, and after that, LT1 corvette engine swap!!!!!!!! :haha:

I WISH!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife isn't thrilled about the wheels. She thinks people that put wheels on thier cars/trucks are stupid. When we sell the Saturn, I'll be able to do all the suspension stuff, and steering component replacement, because it needs it. I will roll the fenders if that's all it takes to fit these wheels. Unfortunately, there is NO WAY I'm going to be able to justify dropping in a V8. Maybe if I'm lucky, the volvo motor will die the day we sell the Saturn. Then at least I coulf swap in a turbo engine........................

Anybody have a LT1 Corvette engine to trade for my wife?????? :P

Well, all that excitement for nothing. 10 inch wide is just too much. I'll just have to see if someone with an s60 wants to trade some nice stock wheels for these on craigslist or something.

Car looked pretty sweet with these on there though..........

OK, so I'm an ****.

I mixed assumption(10 inch wide) with estimation(Like I really know what 28 or 32 mm is by sight), and somehow got the fitment wrong. Checked it out today with this thing called a ruler, and it looks like everything is going to be ok.

Will be ordering the spacers in 10 days or so, and was told that it would be a 4 day turn around for 2 28mm and 2 32mm with studs and lugnuts for 300. They are hubcentric, and wheelcentric.

Here is a pic of the mocking up process. What do you think??????
