S60 Steering: MOT Failure - Wheels rubbing - useful info!

[prm36]

I've got 18" Atlantis wheels on my S60 D5 05 reg and they have never rubbed on full lock, the tyres are 225/40/18 but i think they're 7" wide as opposed to 8"" Pegasus, am i right?.

Not too sure about the width.

I have 18" Nebula's on my S60 D5 04 reg, i do get rubbing on full lock butmy tyres are 235/40/18 so i think the extra 10mm in width makes the difference between rubbing and not.

Mr S60R 04 has same size and rubs on full lock plus turning circle is fun too lol. Glad I'm used to driving HGV's so still makes it seem not too bad.
