Question Discovered wheels rubbing

Hi!

Swopped my wheels from front to back the other day to get some even wear and discovered the 18" Pegasus wheels the previous owner put on have been rubbing on the inner front wheel arch, they were brand new on so 8 months ago so the rubbing hasnt been that bad so far. 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

James
