Narrowing a S60? 4-5 inch backspace Hi guys,
What does it take the narrow a S60 so I can fit a 17x11 rim out back with a 4-5 inch backspace so I can have a nice looking lip.
Thanks, S60 install wont be until March but I am just trying to figure out if something like this is going to cost considerably more to do.

Looking amazing man, that is one mean looking sob you have there.
So when you did the rear end install what did you have to do so your rear tires werent sticking out past the fender or did it just literally bolt right on and turn out like this?
Are the S60's just that easy to fit in for our f-bods?

THANKS MAN!!!
All i had to do was adjust my panhard bar to center the rear end, and fab. up some new e-brake brackets, i just hacked up my original ones.
Install was easy... I work at a dealer so having a lift made it cake....the torque arm hit the tunnel a little bit, so i massaged the tunnel a little bit....all good now.... i replaced my LCA'S, torque arm, torque amr mount (chassis), driveshaft of course with MWC full adjustable.
heres a pic before install

Oh btw, what did you go with for the suspension? ( roto, poly, or rod ends? )
I can't get over how good your car looks man.

If you havn't already bought the rear end it may be worth calling Strange to see if you can order a narrowed one to start with. Might save some money and time.
