Im looking for new wheels. I have no idea what size, the bigger the better

Im looking for 75's with 18" wheels or bigger. Some one might help me to sort out the fitting problem since i dont know how big i can go.

Cheers.

i have not heard anything bigger than 18" been fitted.

Mine are 18"

ZT have 18" as standard with "eslastic band" tyres

have a look in the "pics of my car" thread

For anything bigger than 18" i think it would have to be an aftermartket job, Try here for some http://www.rochfordtyres.co.uk/searc...Rover&Model=75

KandyMan: Is you'r car lowered or anything? It lookes like it has to little clerance to the arches that if it was'nt.

It seems hard to find any info at all about 19" and bigger. I was thinking 20" but i don't want no scrubbing against the car from the tyres or not being able to steer all the way around. It look's very clean with 18" but i still want bigger =)

KandyMan: Custom Suspension? We've got loads of 20" wheel on the market over here, in Sweden. The biggy is if it even is possible to fit AND don't affect the steering in any way bad. =o/

There was a set of 20s on ebay that had 35 prfile tyres, not sure of the width, unfortunately the seller didn't have any pics of them on the car. There is also a trader on ebay who always has 19s offered for ZT/75. Any decent aftermarket wheel place will be able to tell you the max size you can have and what tyres to maintain the rolling radius, etc so your speedo is still within allowable limits. 18s on the ZT are fine and the ride is still very comfortable, much better than the 'R' model Volvos I've had with factory 18s and ultralow profiles.

not lowered, maybe tried springs

i think any bigger than 18" you will get rubbing in the inside edge on turning.

there is a picture of a 75 in austrailer which has Bling wheels and lowered, i will hunt about and post back if i find it.

wheels are 8x18 five spoke with 235/40x18 tyres. Its lowered by 40mm

Well, in my honest opinoin one must lower the car to get that slick fit and look with bigger wheels. I must admit that i fancy that bling-look, but just a little bit. My 75's in the work shop getting repair'd for some crash damage caused by a Scooter and the lack of my attetion the past weekend and is getting partly(?) repainted. And when it's getting done i'll might as well get some new summer wheels and tyres. I've been hunting for lowering-springs but in not able to find it anywhere in Sweden, is there any at all?
