Servas zammen! In the Volvopower.de group on Facebook I introduced my little “remodeling” already a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately (..or not ) he arrived very well with many people. However, my mailbox runs with questions only like this since then, so I now also make a thread here, which everyone can then read themselves, without having to write the same thing to everyone 5000 times. It’s actually only about that, that I have to write for my v50. a set of 19 inch rims and of which posted a picture into the group. Then several people got in touch with me which probably absolutely could not imagine how I got them registered. .. Well, was actually quite simple. The only thing I did was: -The fender inside turned around, or simply cut away and made hot with a hair dryer and pressed flat and dragged the fenders a little bit outward by hand. (wherewith one pulled them a little bit outwards.) I didn’t know what was going on, but let it go before the paint bursts away) The rims have the dimensions 8.5 x ET45 x 19(with a 225/35 tyres) and also fit without track plates or other stuff problemlessly on the car insofar as you have processed the mudguards a little bit. My TÜV customer had absolutely nothing to worry about and after 15min smalltalk again abzi PS: the car is also 30mm lower and it still fits without problems! As far as driving comfort is concerned: Well…I’m used to “lower, harder wider” for a long time and therefore it wasn’t a big change for me from 18 to 19 inches for the first time. You’re not really limited now. You can still use the car 100% as a holiday or family car. You just have to be a little more careful than before. Corners hammering up a curb is no longer, unless you don’t care what the rim looks like. On the whole, you can simply say: The only thing that restricts you is that you have to be extremely careful in the parking garage and in the curbs as you move away, otherwise the beautiful new rim can quickly look ugly. I hope I could help a couple of people with it.
