New Volvo Owner

thezonepolestar

Hey guys,

Just bought 2 used (well loved) Volvos - 2012 XC90 R-Design and a 2013 S60 R-Design poletsar. Coming from BMW's this is a big change but certainly a pleasant one so far!

Big hello to all.

Welcome!

Depending on the BMW.... this is either a huge upgrade or huge downgrade for you :-)

Welcome either way

Welcome to the forums Paul, would love to see some photos!

Hey guys,

Before:
Wife 2011 BMW 535i
Me 2008 BMW 135i

After:
Wife 2012 XC90 R-Design 3.2 White
Me 2013 S60 R-Design T6 Polestar - Polestar Blue

Definitely an upgrade! Love the wall of torque from the T6 Polestar, very addictive!

I dunno, looks kind of plain without an Oz Volvo sticker on the window.

(sorry, I'm shameless)

There's as many as you paid for :)

What on earth are you guys on about?

Many have asked and I think few have received a satisfactory answer.

I apologise, I run Oz Volvo, I was trying to drum up the sale of an Oz Volvo decal or two for your cars ;) but now I feel like I've overdone it!

Ex850R

I'd buy a decal from this lad, he's a stand up guy!
The perfect thing to set off the new cars!

thezonepolestar

No offense but I couldn't think of anything worse than to put a sticker on my car. What is this 1985?

Needs more 80's decals...

Just kidding...
Welcome & nice vehicles.

Anyone know the best place to get some wheel spacers?

pastry

Easy – 10 of @jamesinc's decals stuck together = 1in wheel spacing.

otherwise, are there any Eibach Pro spacers available? Quick eBay scour is inconclusive, look like there are plenty for the older S60

jamesinc

Alright alright give the stickers a rest guys :|

On the wheel spacers - any 5x108, ideally you'd want to match the bore. See this guide: https://ozvolvo.org/discussion/1105/volvo-wheel-fitment-guide/p1

Ok thanks for that guys. Wheels look too inset for my liking. Plenty of Eibach and H&R on Ebay but the 15mm don't seem to come in a pack with bolts. What am I supposed to use some sticks?
