Finally someone made and off-road XC90!

Loving how it looks with the A/Ts! But I believe it’s a softroader if it has no lockers
Good point! The majority of modern SUVs, especially the premium class, come without lockers, yet outfitted with various electronics that simulates them. It’s hard to believe, but even the Land Cruiser 200 didn’t come with rear lockers. The last triple locked Land Cruiser was the 80-Series.
Looks great changes the hole look of the car.
Did they use spacers to change stud pattern?
My understanding XC90 has 5×108 stud pattern, I could only find the Enkei’s in 5×114.3.
Were they custom ordered wheels?
Thanks in advance
Hi there! According to the owner’s information he didn’t change the stud pattern nor used adapters. You’re right, the XC90 has 5×108 bolt pattern, but it’s not very uncommon. For instance, a popular tuner car Ford Focus ST utilizes the same bolt pattern and a detailed search in Google helped me to find a couple of Enkei rims with 5×108 bolt patterns (my query was: Enkei rims 5×108), so I believe the wheels installed on this XC90 weren’t custom ordered. Most likely they were made for the Focus ST or something similar. Since Enkei wheels tend to be forged alloy which is stronger than cast alloy, they should be able to handle the extra weight of the larger XC90 without issues.
Doing something similar with an XC90 – that tire size is appealing, but appears like it would have a rubbing condition with that fitment. Can you confirm either with tire pics or contacting owner that this is the correct size and there were no issues?
