    Need suggestions for wheels for the 960..

    I had been looking at a set of 20" Jag wheels, I don't want to modify this car structurally as they were 9j and 255 tyre width, so I abandoned that idea.

    I Al so limiting my options to exclude multispoke a like Tritons and other BBS style wheels.... So anyone got any options from EBay/other forums please let me know...? Attach links.

    If I stay 16"s I've already got two options:
    I could fit my white T5 wheels possibly?
    I could get the original wheels re coated in white?

    If I went bigger I could fit a variety of styles.. Just need ideas.


    Current Garage:
    1997 960 3.0L 24v - Polestar...(Honest guv..!!)
    1997 855 T5 S - stripped to 1300kgs gross weight - 14.2sec qtr(rank 17*)
    2001 V40 T4 SE - 14.199@100.15MPH - Hybrid Turbo/VXR injectors and DeCat(Rank 15*)

    Cheers.. It's finding a set at the moment which can be difficult, cos I don't trawl all the forums even though I have accounts with most of them. Basically I'm hoping someone else will do the hard work for me.. Just like the "Oracle" Smithy found me a set of 17"s for the V40.

    Yep they're the sort I might go for.. Can't decide if I want comfort (16/17") or looks (18/19/20")...

    Honestly, nebs.
    Never seen a set on a 960 but think they'd look great, just not white please

    Seen Nebulas, I'm not sure about them.

    Been looking at Ixion, but unless I put an offer in at £1000 it looks like I've got to buy one at a time. Width of 8J and Offset at 49 means I need spacers??

    I fitted the jag wheels 19"x9.5" on my 940 that I previously had on my v70. Rears just about fit with a 9mm spacer, fronts were way off, touching the shock absorber before they were flush with the hub. And also sticking outside of the wheel arch.

    So in the end I just settled with a set of 17"x7" steelies from a Citroen c6 and running 32mm spacers all round. Handles sweetName:  image.jpg

    A proper one too, with the buttress lights from the looks of it.

    We need pics of this please. Especially of the insanity of the V12

    Balls to standard Volvo wheels they've all been done to death, go for a big staggered set of Borbet A's or if you can find some, Turbovecs!
