Any S60 D2 owners upsized their stock 16" rims to 17" or 18" rims?

 

Can share the rims PCD and tyres you are running?

 

Any issues like inner rubbing? and is Deflection limiter required?

 

Will be changing tyres in few months times, wanna weigh some options on hand.

 

Thanks in advance.

This is a very good price. Considering that one year ago, the list price was $200k and after discount they were selling at $185k.

 

S60 T5 is a very good car in stock condition. They do not have a polestar upgrade coz at factory, it is already tuned up.

 

However, if you still want to do some customisations and tuning, please be careful and always checkout the background of the tuners.

This is just my sharing as I hope that other Volvo owners do not have the same encounters as me.

 

in fact , they do have something for the drive E

Just got my S60 T5 recently. Received a mail from Wearnes about a fair on 14Nov where there is a polestar promo for T5 Drive-E models at $1688, first 50 bookings only. Am keen to make a booking. Any advice?

Dear all,

 

I have been checking out taoboa for S60/S60L accessories. They really got some interesting stuff (but I was really looking for spare set of mats actually. Think need to email the sellers about a right-hand drive set). Anyone bought any to spruce up your ride?

Wow, you guys v resourceful! Yep, not so worth it for a few bhp. Thanks for advice!

 

If you ask me, if you consider the fact that it is not supposed to affect fuel consumption/emissions negatively and it is factory warranted, it is not unreasonable.

look at the torque increase and not at the bhp increase @ power peak.

@Eyke is right.  It's the torque available to you.  Your BHP is not going to help you much if you want to overtake at very close distances.

Your bobo floor mats can last. I am still using my stock floor mats after 3+ years.

Can senior advise if XC60 Zephyrus Rims fits into our S60?

 

18x7.5" et55.

 

Other than changing the tyres to fit, is there any other works to be done?

 

Sorry, noob here... Tried googling but can't find anything on it.

i was reading the polestar website and the philosophy on how they tune wowos.

 

polestar focuses on the drivability aspects and they tune the mid range power and torque, taking into consideration that the revs at the mid range is most usually used. i was looking for the D4 tune, and the increase is abt 10% only, but then again, one can only feel if it is really worth the $$ after one has driven the tuned car vis-a-vis the stock one before tuning to feel the difference in "driveablity".

haha i'm also looking at some of the accessories in TB.  one thing to note if you intend to buy the interior accessories such as chrome/aluminium fittings, is that there could be differences between LHD and RHD models e.g. the aircon vent at the ends, floor mats for the front passenger/driver.

I have the s60 catalogue. the rims available for 18" are all 8x18", don't have 7.5x18". that could be clue ?

 

alternatively is to ask Wearnes.

Thanks for the info. I booked the polestar promo liao. Waiting for Wearnes to get the LTA approval. As for taoboa, yes, need to liaise with the sellers about RHD products. Bought a few stuff, waiting for shipment to see if they fit, hahaha.
