Volvo 760 Turbo Wagon with Polaris Wheels

1990 Volvo 760 Turbo Wagon, lowered slightly with a set of springs from IPD. The factory wheels look a bit dated my modern standards and could use an upgrade. The difficulty is that modern Volvo wheels have a much deeper offset than is found on the old RWD cars.

Side-by-side comparison between the original wheels and the Polaris wheels. The tires on the original wheels were 195/65R15 vs. the 215/45R17 on the Polaris wheels, therefore the diameter is the same and my speedometer and odometer will remain accurate.

Here is the 1990 Volvo 760 Turbo wagon equipped with the set of Polaris wheels. I’m quite pleased with how it turned out. Currently the car is setup with some old Hankook tires that came with the wheels, but I plan to quickly replace them with something better suited to this luxury driving machine.
