Volvo S70 T5 CDOne thing i noticed when i picked my S60 up was wheel rub on full lock, so i thought "worn bump stops". I swapped them over last night, and it STILL rubs!
The tyres are 225/45/17's on Thors, which i thought where a normal size??
Anyone else ( i know this is common ) have wheel rub with those size tyres???
Looks like i need 215/45/17's to stop it

Thanked 7,752 Times in 5,648 PostsPhase 2 cars are renown for it. There's armour that you can get for your inner wing but it won't stop it rubbing tho. 5mm spacers help. Depends on tyres too. Barum Bravuris 2 didn't rub at all on mine but when I got the Avon ZV5s it all got a bit noisy lol.

Thanked 887 Times in 593 PostsThey always rub.
There's even an MOT notice on it. See Issue 35, last page:
http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repositor...ril%202007.pdf
UPDATE: This is the doc to use if your V70/S60 fails the MOT on rubbing wheels like mine did. It means that the Testers are uninformed! I've never seen anyone issue a "pass" cert so readily!Last edited by Al115; Wednesday 25th April 2012 at 16:35.

Yip I have the standard Pzeros that came with the car from new and they rub too, go with Vikings idea and use the hand brake, you might actually get turned that way

The only way to eliminate wheel arch liner rub is to fited 5mm spacers as Martin said. Also, fit new steering stops (black) and get the liner protectors. See here in this link:
