arch rolling or flaring flare
I have a track car (2005 wrx), would really like to widen the track for better handling. it has standard WRX 17"s fitted (am planning on retaining these).
Question i have is does anyone have any experience of rolling or flaring the arches on a newage, ideally i would like to fit 20 or 25mm hubcentric spacers all round (proper eibach or h&r ones, not the crappy cheapo ebay jobs that would end up rattling the car to bits!!)
dont have the budget for a wide body kit (or the inclination!!!), but would like the increased handing response the wider track gives.
also hoping to get enough room to squeeze in the 356mm brake kit from ksport (caliper brackets may need a few mm machining off!!)
Anyone got arch roller to loan or hire out?
cheers matt

You have to warm the paintwork up with a heat gun prior to soften it a little ...
My Mate has an Arch roller, cost him a small fortune , Im sure he would hire it out or even do the job for a small price
Exactly the one in Fatboyslims post
Cheers.

I bought one of the flaring tools for my friends as they do all of that.
I just had a tweak done to my arches, wheels rubbing when going round corners hard!
Full paintshop and a DentBuster to hand also!!

Thanks for all the useful replys guys.
I spoke to Arch enemy arch rollers before i posted this thread, they have done classics and new age cars coz they have pics on their site. not sure anyone on scoobynet has it done thou. Unfortunatly for me archenemy are based in london and i'm on the wirral, one of his agents is in nottingham but even thats too far to travel, there is another guy who is based in birmingham who does arch rolling/flaring, he's advertises on fleabay....can anyone give any references for these guys?
so then guys 4 questions for anyone in the know:
1) anyone had it done?
2) how much extra space can be had if you flare the arch?
3) will i be able to get the 20/25mm spacers i',m looking for fited on the standard wrx 17" rims?
4) will anyone hire me the roller for 5 days? (will arrange for pick-up and leave a deposit)
the other alternative i'm thinking of is arch extensions rather than the full blown widebody kit.

thanks dean, much appreciated.
Arch - i have 3 sets or the 7j rims and a set of 7.5s, they are fitted up with 1 set of 240mm yoko slicks, 1 set of 235 dunlop btcc slicks, 1 set of 235 dunlop bttc wets and a set of 225 toyo r1s's, so i already have the wide rubber, its the wide track i want and the clearance for the bigger brakes. A move up to 18's isnt really a cost effective option with the 4 sets of rims and tyres we have.
