Hi all.
I know many people have spoken about this before and lots of to do's, what to do's and what not to do's but seeing as (not meaning to blow my own trumpet) i have lowered and do NOT have any issues with rubbing wheel arches then i thought i share some preps.
I am currently running 18" Pegs with 235/40ZR18 Vredestein Sessanta's. Lowered on Eibach Pro kit with a 30mm drop allround.
Also i have TPi black alloy spacers 12mm front / 15mm rear.
I will post photos in a sec but make sure that you have brand new 'Black' steering stops (available from Volvo or PFV) fitted.
Also, while your at the dealer purchase and fit these....
They protect your wheel arch liners from being ripped out should you hit a bump whilst turning and driving....and resulting in the following damage...
Here they are fitted....
Lowered my car looks like....
I can assure one and all that i do NOT suffer with rubbing or scraping wheel archs or liners.
Top tip. Make sure you purchase and fit the Volvo Alloy underbelly protector plate before lowering. Trust me, it will save your sump as i have since lowering scraped mine quite a few times, mainly on stupid middle of the road sleeping policeman and the odd edge of a pothole on rough bumpy ground. Its there to do a job and it does it very well!
