Pegs as I said come in 17" versions called Satelites

nope.

sattelites (however it's spelt) are different.

17" volvo pegs on my car.

edited to add, you wouldn't have a problem with brake clearance with 17" pegs as there are many S60Rs out there with 17" pegs!

one of the two were an option when new, can't remember which way round it was but i think the 18" wheels were the optional extra.

Maintaining the actual Rolling Radius is the important bit as your speedo and so on relies on "size"!

Bigger wheels (in my opinion" set a car off a lot better.

Lower profile tyres in turn give a firmer ride but having the thinner sidewall give better handlingn... to a degree.......

Not just because I bought Lee's car but because it makes sense .....

Follow his advice and don't turn the wheel as much!!

I'm sure it was sold mostly to the american market, without the R stamp in some cases, but I'm almost sure there was a different name. (comets versus meteors prove the name change does happen)

Take a gander on this list http://stores.ebay.com/PAULS-MOTORS_...34Q2ec0Q2em322

satelites

meteor

titans

pegs

my 17" volvo alloys

a 17" volvo alloy out of a set that was picked up from an S60R for another S60R

i thought it was common knowledge about the 17" pegs. obviously not.

just remembered, dooby also has 17" pegs on his car

info and wheel pics were nicked from this thread after a very brief search.

the R's camewith 18's as standard. the 17's where a no cost option. hence not many around. only pegs will clear your brakes with out spacers. you will already have the black steering lock stocks on your R which are the biggest ones. they are probly worn down. swap them from left to right as this flips them up side down so will be like new ones. check the metal plates are sitting as close to the inner wing as they can.also try taking them off. if the tyre doesnt contact the arch liner then u dont need them

whos wheels irf?

You will notice that Satelite wheels have a very slight flare on the ends of the spokes as they meet the rim & that the center plate is mor pentagonal than the Pegs.
