I have 225 40 tyres, I think they are only rubbing on full lock and when the suspension is down. I have a 54 plate D5 sport, dont know if this makes any difference in terms of suspensions height?

What do I need to solve the problem, wheel spacers or stop locks? Want to know before I go to my local Volvo garage and they try and rip me off. Wheres the best place to get them from? I dont have the rubbing plates by the way. also if this is a known design fault, does volvo offer any sort of free modification?

Cheers

Did you ever sort this rubbing? My tyres on the standard 17” alloy have just started rubbing on full lock, so perhaps I should look at the lock stops?
