New 480GT

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

New 480GT

Post by IronFistOfWu » Tue Dec 26, 2006 2:58 pm

Hi to all, Ive just recently decided to style my much loved 480 GT which I’ve had for a couple of years, but I’m a totally new to this and have no idea as to how I’m going to start my new project. Could anyone help with how to begin? I was hoping to get some 17” on there is this possible, or would it cause problems with the arches.

205/40s fit in just about, so long as you get the offset right and don't lower it too much.

I have very minor scrubbing with 205/45 and 40mm lowering.
