is it possible to fold the little lip on the rear arches on a classic impreza as my tyres are scrubbing when i corner hard.

what is the best/easiest way to do this without damaging the arch

Which tyre/size do you have on your car?
It could be as simple as you have the wrong tyre size on (ie 215/45/17 instead of 215/40/17)

yeah i know thats the problem the wheels that was fitted was 215/40 where as i took my wheels with 215/45 off my other scooby as its not drivable just now and the car i plan to use needed 4 new tyres. and i'm on a budget so aint forking out for 4 new tyres.

Not worth rolling the arches for tbh, just look around for good tyre packages, or see if there are any in the "for sale" section on here

i got the 4 tyres that are fitted 2 weeks ago for £180 new thru a friend and cant afford to fit new tyres to the alloys that was on the car so i just swapped the wheels on the cars over since i blew the engine on my other car

I "rolled" the arches on a classic a few months ago but before i did i happened to be at the Autosport International and eyeballed the Prodrive cars Colin McRae had ran in the past to see how they done it.
They had cut the arch every 2" and bent the lip (or rather, tabs) back into the arch, so i did the same.
I used a rubber mallet and gently worked my way round the arch bending the tabs into place and never split the paint.( Don't whack each tab in a one-er straight into the arch!) It was finished off with some sealer between the tabs and the inner wings.
