Volvo Borbet 17" rims and new Goodyear Eagle F1's x 4
Genuine VOLVO BORBET
17 INCH alloy wheels 7.5J X 17H2 ET 49 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3's 235/45/17. Sadly I am having to sell these as they just will not fit over my R's huge calipers. They fit a std P2 and most 5 stud Volvos and Fords etc. I bought the rims approx a year ago for 325 + 38 postage. They were in very nice condition, but I then spent a huge amount of time and effort bringing back to almost as new before putting on my P2 T5 in the spring of this year (over £400 by the time I put the tyre on them). That had 215/55/16's on it and could barely handle the power in standard tune and no chance once mapped with a catback (310bhp). Once these went on they completely transformed the car, grip to spare, bloody fantastic. Sadly only 1100 miles after popping them on, the T5 died and I had to let it go (Sad day as in the family from new). So these have been in my garage since and was intending to use as winter rims / tyres for the R. Just tried them now with 5 and 7mm spacers and they still will not clear the huge Brembos. If you have a T5 (especially if mapped) these are what you need! One tyre is zero miles as when the T5 was being diagnosed at Volvo they noticed a bulge in one of the side walls (must have hit a curb or pot hole), so changed it, but it has never been on the car bar in limp mode! These tyres were 4x £96 each fitted. I'd say they are nicer tyres (grippier than the Toyo things I have on the R - will likely swap to these). They look bloody great on the car - see pics. Biggest you can put on a none R P2. They owe me just short of £750 and I really did not want to sell them! Will take 550onvo. Will keep on here and http://www.vpcuk.org for a few weeks before popping on ebay. |

Should have said they tyres are 235/45x17's (in pic 3 but you'd have to zoom in). Think as wide as will go under the arches with no issues.
