Recently fitted a set of 18" Nebulas. They rub the wheel arches. I've never had this on other cars, so not sure what to do. I also have a set of Eibach springs I'm wanting to fit. I'm assuming that wheel spacers will sort out the rubbing, but how can I work out what size I need. [ATTACH]13492[/ATTACH]
When you say rubbing the arches do you mean the inner arch when on lock? If that's so then check the steering stops. They are a small rectangular bar with a bush in the middle. When worn the car will rub the inner arch. They are pretty cheap to buy from volvo and are a airly easy fit. Fitted new ones on my R and running 19" pegs and I get no rubbing at all and I don't run with spacers Hope this helps
That's brilliant. Thanks. I'll try and check. They rub on lock on the inner arches.
Yep, as Sharkey said, check lock stops. It's a very common issue on P2 vehicles. Even with stock wheels and brand new lock stops some people get rubbing. Volvo even do metal scuff plates that fit over the affected area of the inner arch if all else fails.
