My V70 has 20" alloys fitted with 35-aspect tires, so I have to be quite cautious, luckily I only do the same journeys in it so I know where all the ones to miss are |

Which wheels do you have? Did you need to use spacers, or did you find some with the right offset?

Well - disaster!
The car is sitting completely wrong after the garage had their hands on it. Lesson learned, don’t let someone else do what you can do yourself. Thanks to the amazing help on this very forum, it looks like they’ve fitted aftermarket springs for non-nivomat shocks. Found out there’s loads of different springs available, so genuine ones purchased today from Lloyds Volvo in Carlisle (just happened to be nearby in the work van). Will try and get round to fitting them in the next few evenings. Last edited by reggit; Jun 20th, 2023 at 21:36. |

AXE EX20 in polished silver. I had to drop from a 245 to a 225 tire so no rubbing on full lock. s-l1600.jpg |

It’s only high at the back, surely that’d make it an XC35 😂

The eagle eyed amongst us may be able to spot a difference here that the garage who originally ‘repaired’ the car didn’t spot :-(

Proper springs fitted, wasn’t a bad job and the car is sitting properly again.
Now got a set of 3 mile old springs kicking around 🤔 Last edited by reggit; Jun 21st, 2023 at 20:01. Reason: Forgot pictures |

I'd be taking them back to the garage that fitted the incorrect springs and inserting them where the sun don't shine !!
