To wide strange S60

Hi!
Just got my S60 strange axle. Part Number: PRSF10

The axle match on bolts and springs but its to wide by 4" so the wheels are way out,i did not order any specific length,the only way to go now is a pair of 7"backspace wheels to compensate that or ?
Have anyone else order that axle,if so what was the total length of it.
Anders

Seems like you got a rear end for a 4th gen.

They sent you the wrong rear end. I bet shipping to Sweden was pretty expensive. Make them fix it. Don't change your wheels just because they screwed up.

Re: To wide strange S60

Sounds like you got the rear 4 a 4th gen F body. (93-02) Those are a bit under 4" longer than the 3rd gen, but otherwise identical.

It'll fit and work fine, if you use 4th gen wheels.

Give em a choice: either get you the right rear, or supply you a set of wheels. Ones of your choice, of course.
