Wheels/Tyres: 70: - S70

I have an S70 with 195/60 R 15 tires on original rims I have been offered C70 wheels and tires 225/45 R 17 will they fit and any issues?

Yes they'll fit no problem.

You'd be best to fit the C70 steering limiters to stop them chewing your inner arches to bits on full lock.
Sometimes you need a small spacer on the rears to stop them rubbing too.

Hi doingitsideways,

Are the C70 limiters the same as the V70 or different colours etc?
Do you know Volvo part numbers?

Would the standard limiters be the same for a C70 with 16 inch as for 17 inch?

Thanks
Steve

Not too sure as I've never bothered changing them to be honest.
I'm on 18s and I just don't hold a lock on

Best bet is have a look on PFV, they're quite good for stuff like this, with descriptions like "suitable for 850 owners with 17" wheels"

I don't bother either, in fact it gets a mention in the MOT testers bible as a permissible fault.

You might find it hard not to, some do. Just don't dizzy yourself on airfields driving round in tight-circles for hours.

No no, thank me later.

I believe the C70 steering stops are blue and normal ones white.

Also the rubbing for the MOT is for P2 cars as they have a plate for it.

C70 stops are blue.
