The new wheels for the 850

**t5 pete** · Sunday 31st July 2011, 22:44

I had never even thought about fitting the polaris wheels to the 850 but after seeing a pic im deffinatly liking them so will see how the fit on the car first and if every thing is fine they will be going on.

probably could of done with an inch bigger, but yes they do look very good. Certainly suit it very well

lol some people are never happy there 17" so will do me im just wounder about the offset differences but obviously they can fit

**p fandango** · Sunday 31st July 2011, 22:54

sure the RWD's have more offset than the FWD's so stick out the arch more (i think lol)

**t5 pete** · Sunday 31st July 2011, 23:01

yeah im just woundering if the catch the arches when hitting bumps ill get one of the wheels out and fit it to myne and that should give me the answer lol

if your thinking of keeping them on the 850 you could always grind the centre down to reduce the offset, i'd suggest getting an engineering shop to do it instead of getting the angle grinder out yourself lol

What are they from?
Also what are the sizes? (Offset and width).

**Ade** · Monday 1st August 2011, 00:00

And do you fancy selling 'em to me?

**t5 pete** · Monday 1st August 2011, 00:01

just managed to get intouch with the bloke he says the arches need to be rolled and the biggest tyres that will fit with out rubbing are 205/40/17
Ade there the volvo rwd offset and either 7 or 7.5 j they were a optional extra for the 700 and 900 series and quite rare not many about at all.
So tbh not too bad really for fitting

The Toyo R888 is one of the best if not softest road legal tyres you can buy. In the dry the drip is limitless... however should it drizzle you may find driving with them the scariest motoring experience of your life in a powerful FWD Volvo.

Just looked that up ET25! Nice.

Best looking wheels I've ever seen on an 850 by miles..... sell me them!

Where can the reps be found?

**claymore** · Monday 1st August 2011, 13:32

Yea, I saw them on that ebay add, they look great, but i wouldn't give him what he wants for the car.

You can get them here but they have to come from Norway and they arent cheap. http://www.eiker.no/default.asp?ItemID=1207

I do love the Polaris rims but couldnt justify the cost
