Yeah that's running 225s with a roll and slight pull on the arches, now obviously when you roll and pull the lip which holds your wheels arches liners in place are no longer there what I managed to do was to modify my existing wheel arches lineas by extending them , cutting a strip of 3 inch plastics to the shape of the arch and riveting it on to my arch liner it's a difficult, fiddly, time consuming, job but I like to do things proper and the thought of having road grime and salt in the arches and door hinges made me do it straight away, hope this helps

 

The Gold look immense!!

 

This is a can of worms now lol, good job I ask these questions before I commit.....makes sence rolling & pulling archs destroys the inner arch liner....then have an issue with that!
Thanks for the heads up Adam.

 

Unless you're planning to ride on pretty near standard ride height, even with 225s your going to need to roll the arches.



Mine's on BCs and running 225/40s and I had to get the arches rolled all round. Before rolling, the rears were catching on even the smallest bumps in the road.

Speak to Phil @ Archenemy, did a great job on mine, rolled the rears flat and put some sealant on there for protection.

Wiley is running 235/40 btw with arches cut.

 

Basically I want 235's or 245's so have no problem atall with rolling the arches....Mags has already recommended ArchEnermy, planning on booking it all in at once with Mags.

Would ArchEnermy apply protective sealant as part of the job?

 

I'm swaying towards 245's to help protect the wheel and avoid the stretch look.

As a future question how can I expect the feel to differ from 18x8 current wheel to the wider 18x9.5?.....I don't do track days either.

Also why do people favour these 225 tyres? And not any bigger? Is it because they don't want to mod the arches, but end up having to do that anyways.
Would like to see some more pics of the 245's like Jura's.

 

No arch mods on mine with the 225's. People choose it because it looks better depending on the look you want, and is cheaper.

 

How much camber is concidered too much and start to wear tyres out fast?
-2 deg front and back?
Do I need front camber bolts? Have them on the rear already.

What's the choice from you guys for wheel colour, on wr blue...white or hyperblack.
