Finally got wheels and tires. Pics inside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C-10volvo · 08-03-2007, 09:46 PM

After kicking myself in the butt for wasting half of the summer with 20's sitting in my bed, i went to schwabs in search of some rubber. I've been plugging around with tire sizes for awhile and came up with this:

Front: Wheel 20x8 offset 5
Tire 255/45/20

Rear: Wheel 20x9 offset 5.5
Tire 275/45/20

I already have some drop spindles on order. I want to see how it looks raked before i ordered the shackles for the rears. Comments welcome!

Why didn't you warn us about the bling factor before opening this thread, very nice. Oh by the way I've been meaning to tell you that there is a volvo just like yours down here in Phoenix at a volvo repair shop, looks very similiar to yours except for the color.

69face · 08-04-2007, 05:26 AM

awesome combo and very neat truck!

C-10volvo · 08-05-2007, 12:24 PM

Thanks for the comments guys! I went ahead and got those shackles on order. I know how everyone says to just go with a 4/6 drop from the start, but i want to bag it next summer if money allows. Without using a flipkit or front springs, i can keep the spindles and use the shackles until the bags come.

Nice shoes and meats

Whats under the cover?

C-10volvo · 08-05-2007, 01:14 PM

It is my step dads '56 210 pro street. I had some pictures of it but my desktop crashed recently with most of my pictures on it. I have yet had the time or patients to load back up disks.

Its a pretty clean car for being a late 80's resto. It has black paint with tan tweed interior that needs some updating. A 4 link, coilovers and 15' MT drag radials reside out back. The motor if i remember right is a 355 with a th400. The previous owner had a 454 in there and swapped it before selling it.
