hello, this may not pertain exactly to this particular incident but its similar. I have a volvo wagon 240DL with 184/80R14 wheels and wanted to get rims with an offset so that they went atleast flush with the fender or maybe even a smidge outside, when i went to go get some wider rims i ran into a whole slew of troubles. I was told that they didnt make rims that were wide for volvo's, is this true if not could i get some suggestions on economically priced rims that i could purchase that would give me that effect. I realize that it will probably in the long run reak havoc on my bearings but ill deal with that when it comes up. All i wanted were some wide rims so that i could put some 205 tires on them and give my car the look that ive been trying so hard to get without success, any suggestions you could give me on places to look or ways that i could accomplish this feat i would greatly appreciate. thankyou, desperate for a solution in virginia beach :)
