I saw these snowies chillin in the back of my parents XC70, FWD offset (around +40'ish). I have the same bolt pattern. I had heard of this being done so I put the wheels on backwards hahahah. They don't fit because the way the wheel is formed the concave around the holes hits the brake disc/hub. I definitely like the look I think, especially if I rolled the fenders... Now to convince papa to give em to me and then go give Panther a visit.
Rims were 16x16.5 with 225 snow tires on them.
Anyways, thought I would share so enjoy:
While the car was still in the air:

On the ground, them wheels were a tight fit... Would need a shorter sidewall

Some of the swedes do it, and they know how to build cars?
And probably wouldnt run them like that. That's why I said i would give Panther a visit, have the centers flipped around. That way it just becomes a deep dished steelie..
But this is more of hey, i like the look thing :P

That's what the plan is down the road, just wanted to throw this together really quick. Panther charges $250/wheel for widening...

an old friend with a '79 LJ80 ( picture an OLD samurai with a .8L engine) ran his rims backwards and it was great.
I see no problems with the OP lolz

Rust. The fender would come off the car in a cloud of dust.

It is. I looked it up when I saw a cheap set of XC90 alloys on craigs. I'll sell you my Hydras if I get the IPD fake Pegasus HAHAHA

That would leave me with a set of Virgos, aftermarket Riken STX's, and Hydra's... Too many wheels for me! Plus i'm broke and would offer you $50
