    I bought a same year v70 d5 this year absolutely love it so comfy and can move for a big car. I need to change the wheels tho as they are 225 and rub it’s meant to have 205 so I bought some v70 205 wheels but turned out they were off a mk3 and they have a smaller bore than the mk2 🤦‍♂️. Did not know this so sold tho and I’m still looking for a new set. Almost all marketplace wheel sellers don’t specify wheel bore so don’t make the same mistake. Looking forward to seeing what happens with this 👍

      So for people that lower the car, wouldn't the back have rubbing issues? Whats the typical Tyre to wheelwell gap that you can go for when lowering the vehicle (either on standard or on 13s)?

    • @SimpsonsClassics
      @SimpsonsClassics 7 дней назад

      @martiniracing930 that all depends on what wheel arch you run. What suspension spec you have etc loads of things really. To go even lower you can “tub” the rear arch this gives you more clearance
