Hi

my 2005 V70 T5 needed new front discs and pads. Ordered them through the local motor factor by reg number. Anyway before fitting i laid the old ones on top of the new ones to check the size, they looked the same, the old ones had rusted badly on the edge. Fit and checked everything for clearance and nothing was touching or rubbing. Only thing was the disk was quite close to the
hanger. Put the wheels back on and then actually measured the old disks. They are 316mm the new ones are 320 mm. Thats 2 mm larger on the radius. Should i be worried as i cant take them back now they have been fitted.
I know i should have measured first.
