Default Rolling Arches

As per title.

The tyres are just catching the rear of the arch lip.

As such, could do with getting the arches rolled.

Anyone know any places local to Crewe that does a good job?

TIA

I've just loaned out my arch roller to Fieldl for his track car.
Your welcome to have a bash with it when he's done!

I thought you had ZERO rubbing with them wheels/off set at that ride height.

Is it due to the new tyres?

It is due to the new tyres, yes. Check out my R888 thread - it says in there

Mikey - Cheers, will do

Steve - Will probably look like something out of Event Horizon and I end up folding the car in half or something

Got mine done by "Arch Enemy" but he's London based.

Can't really roll the fronts as you then loose the liners etc.

The rears are hard to do, and need a lot of work with a heat gun to stop the paint cracking.

I didn't flare mine, just got the lip rolled up.
