Whilst I'm waiting for my XC I'm trying to calculate the cars inside sweep area but I need the angle of the wheels at full lock, 0 degrees being straight forward. Don't suppose anyone knows this? Can't find it on Volvo's literature

Thanks

This probably won't help much, but thought I would at least share. I just upgraded to the 21 inch five spoke rims after delivery and they did have to perform a software update to accommodate for the new wheel radius. Basically adjusts the steering wheel slightly so it doesn't hit.

Got a turning circle figure. Are you looking for the equivalent measurement for the inner edge of tyres? If so (purely off the top of my head with no mathematical thought!) could you just reduce this figure by the effect of tyre width?

Unfortunately mathematically it's not that simple. Turing circle is the OS front corner/wheel (not defined which method was used). I'm looking for the NS rear corner which requires some calcs.
