    Front Tyres Getting Cut on Full Lock?!

    Got a serious issue that i luckily came across yesterday when putting new brakes on.
    The car is on 17x7(?) with 205/50/R17 tyres on.
    Seem to fit the car fine.
    My steering lock has got less, but worst of all is were the tyres have cut away from contacting the bodywork.
    Has anyone else had this, and what fixes are available??

    This is pretty worrying, becuase i' looking at £150 or so for new tyres on tuesday and don't want these lasting like 3k miles like the old ones!
    Looking at Maxxins MA-Z1's at the moment, depending if they have any
    Might be able to fit (make) some wheel spacers, but extended wheel bolts don't seem to exist for Volvo's stupid wheel bolt pitch (seriously what's wrong with 12x1.5!)
    I mean i've seen people run 19's on these car's, is the turning circle measured on kilometers??
    As it is parking is a nightmare, but not unexpected
