Nope third set of Goodyear GSD3's
Dropped from 225 to 215 on the front to get rid of rubbing issues.

I have an arch rolling tool available.
Can't be that difficult if Moggy & Fieldl can manage it
Trick is to warm the paint (carefully) with a heat gun
And go a little at a time.
Front arch tabs can shred a tyre (I know from experiance )
8.5" +63 is a rear and a good fit I have 9" rears in that offset with no issues.
Mike,

Do you know anyone around localish that specialise in rolling of arches?

I don't know if I trust myself!

Also any ideas what you do with the front arch liner post rolled?

Cheers
Rick

I don't Rick
I have the tool in the garage but never bothered on mine
If you roll the fron you lose three of the liner location tabs
Most the yanks seem to remove the liner

I went 'linerless,' It was liking wearing trainers with no socks, felt great at first then everything got a bit soggy !

Lookng at your wheel spec's I reckon you will be ok.

Like mikey says ride height and camber make a difference.

My 7.5" +40 - 215/45/17 fronts rub but my ride height is very low.

Hmm I wonder if the arch will drop much with 3 of the locations missing? Might take mine out and go for a drive and see what it's like?

I really don't fancy having them out, its too wet round here and I'm sure my xenon's would prefer to be kept dry!

Any advice on rolling the rears? I guess you could just remove that rubber protector and go for it?

Any advice much appreciated from anyone on this topic

Mines not connected on two on each side no real problem!
