But I've seen a lot of people running 225s on the Volvos because they are cheaper to buy than the 215 recommended as stock.

Again I'm not sure how this effect him setting the geometry unless they have stock values based on certain tyre sizes etc.

Thanks for the link, I found somewhere close that does 4 wheel alignment on the hunter system but its Kwik fit :-( , which after some bad past experiences I think I may avoid lols, they said £49 including front adjustments, £25 for any adjustment after that, is that about the going rate?
Yeah, it's a bit more expensive when you get Hunter alignment. But they are more accurate as long as the person doing the job knows what they're doing and not just looking to make green colours across the board.

oooooh.... Kwik Fit....

"Tracking Sir? No problem. You also could do with pads and discs and those shocks seem to be leaking...."

Yeah if the offset is outside Volvo specs that could be an issue. I think Volvo is 49.5mm to 52mm. Could be wrong though.
