V70 steering lock stops

[Ian mallett]

I have 1998 v70 but it has 2002 v70 wheels on, full lock rubs badly on the inside of the wheels.
I have white plastic steering lock stops (the flat type that rivet on) but are there any thicker stops that can be fitted? I've seen blue ones from a c70 that look thicker but have no measurements on them. Any help or advice welcome 😀

My lock stops are blue and are 14mm thick. Hope this helps.

the thickness of the stops can vary dependant on what width tires were fitted . thickest stops for wide tires . these can make the turning circle very large . think there are 3 sizes.

Thats what i thought, I can find lots of different ones to fit the facelift v70 but only the white ones for the ph1 v70 or blue ones for ph1 c70. I dont know if the c70 blue ones will fit the v70 (I assume they will) but i cannot find any sizes for them. Any links would be great 👍

The C70. I didn't specify the car as my cars are in my signature.

The other thing to note is that the car has 17'' wheels 225 wide tyres and the lock stops and wheels are original fitments as it left the factory - they have never been changed. I measured the outer edge where they do not wear, but considering they have done 57,000mls they could well have been 15mm to start with.
