Regarding my 2001 S60 T5. Whenever I have the steering wheel cranked about 90% to the right or left, the front inside of the tire will rub inside the wheel well. So let's say I've turned the steering wheel to the left, the the right side tire will rub inside of the wheel well. And vice versa. I do have stock wheels (tethys) and the tires are the correct size. Any ideas?

Thanks

Yeah, they all rub if you have 235/45/17 and different tires than OEM
Tires of the same size but different brands have different tread widths.
You can add new/longer steering stops but your turning radius will be larger or you can buy and add 5mm spacers which usually work.
Still, look at the steering stops, they may be worn and/or out of adjustment

 

Hey thanks for the fast reply. I will definitely check that and see what I find.

Thanks again

I've had the same issue when I first replaced the tires. Went with Komos. This last time I went with OEM and no rub.

 

What would OEM be? I have Nexen N3000 on right now.

 

If it's not really bothering you or annoying, its normal for S60's I have the optional 18's and they rub but I know the smaller size tires do as well, but can assure you it won't harm a thing.

Thank you guys. Good to hear.

 

I work at a machine shop and made 1/2 inch spacers and used longer studs worked great also was able to adjust stering stops to make tighter turning radius. I have bfg's on my car now.

hope this helps
