Anybody got banded steel's on a 940? Advice please! - Page 3

As Steve says, I'd fit some 5mm spacers at the front, but thats a far easier solution than banding

No change in PCD so they'll be cheap - the universal jobbies will do the trick, you'll just need some longer wheel bolts to suit.

No spacers on the back, 5mm on the front to clear the struts.
Car is lowered with 40mm springs and Bilstein B4 dampers.

What tyres are you running on those? Looks good, and I have the same springs ready to go on mine.

Going to stick with the original 15" Volvo steel's and get them banded I think no messing about then with spacers or anything, cheers for all the help and advice been very helpful

Sorry to be a pain in the trumper chaps, But when we talk about a 8" banded wheel and a 9" banded wheel are we talking about overall steelies width I'm guessing? Cheers!

MIM Juventus are the widest and most commonly fitted aftermarket wheels, they are 16x8" ET10 and don't require arch rolling AFAIK.

Just how much dish do you need?

YES! don't get a 9" dish whatever you do!!!

I wondered if you might get a 9" wide (overall) on the back with the correct offset but you would need to check everything carefully. It looks like 8" wide just fit and these are the same offset all round, the extra inch would have to go inside and then you will need different size rear tyres.

Only needed a 5mm spacer on the front axle for these wheels, which are very cheap as you don't need hubcentric ones as the studs are long enough. Need to get some 5mm ones on the back too to even it out a bit but you don't have to.

You can buy my wheels new but they aren't cheap - I got them as scrap wheels from 4 different scrappies and had them powedercoated at my favourite place. I might band them one day but I'd need to get them repainted again.

I'm running volvo 16 inch steels fwd offset, banded to 9 and 10j, it's a bit tight on the back. To be honest it rubs the inside of the wheel arch very slightly when the axel articulates over speed bumps, only on the N/S as I need an adjustable panhard rod.

And I'm running 25mm spacers up front.

Hope this helps
