Wheel Upgrade Decisions, Decisions V70-XC70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be V70 Enthusiast on  Wed May 8 17:49 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have installed aftermarket wheels/tires and suspension on my 2001 V70. After lots of research I decided on 18 x 8 Antera 309's with Toyo Proxis T1S 235/40/18 tires. I wanted a unique look that had a deep lip with a "5 spoke" design AND I mandated proper offset to maintain proper suspension geometry and avoid rubbing. I also lowered the car with the Eibach Pro Kit from Europe and installed Koni dampers. The car looks great and handles very well.

I found very few wheels that actually had the proper offset(ET 45) and bolt pattern(5 on 108)for Volvo but the entire Antera line does have the specs we need for Volvo's. Claus Ettensberger Corporation (CEC) is the distributor of Antera so check out their web site or call them at 800.766.0064 and request a catalog.
