Default new alloys, but........

I picked up some alloys today

235/35/18 j8 et35

at the rear they catch the arch lip

at the front they dont catch, but a bump in the road will cause them to hit/rub on the arch.


what are my options please?

roll the arches?

front

Look decent, look like the enkei nt03.
I'd get the arches rolled and pulled slightly or try higher car if on coilovers and stiffen rebound

I'd pay the £150 to be honest they do this stuff day in day out the last thing you want to do us crack the paint or do it wrong unless you've done this type of bodywork previously then it's all jolly well just my 20p's worth bro

Looks pretty cool that, I'd raise the rear end slightly though IMO.

Needs to go a bit higher IMO, so you can see the full tyre at least

think it might just be the picture, from the top of the alloy and arch at the front, it is a couple of mm under 8cm, and the rear is about half a cm lower than the front

Depends whats more imporrtant to you - looks or handling?

Offset is wrong and as low as that is is likely to be playing havock with geometry IMO.

Persinally I thyink the wheels look ****, but each to their own and no offence meant

Its more of a style think, I only use the car once or twice a month for the odd car meet or to pop to the shops if im lucky, so it doesnt get used much. and just fancied a different look
