STi Hawkeye rear arch roll to fit 18x9 et 35
 

Hi guys


My rear arches need rolling on my Sti hawkeye to stop my 235/40 tyres catching the sidewalls on the arches. The car has been lowered 30mm on BC coilovers.


Anyone know anywhere in south Wales that could do this for me?


Anyone else had any dramas with this setup?


Cheers!

Yeah but I use 225/40/18

I have a good friend who lives in south wales he used a company called ARCH ATTACK for the rolling of his car archeshttps://www.facebook.com/ArchAttackArchRolling/,and he rated them highly for their workmanship and prices.SJ.

Was considering a 225 profile but thought they would be too stretched on a 9" rim. Has it sorted the scrubbing issues on the rear? Is your car pretty low? Be good to see some pics if possible. Cheers

Thanks mate I'll look into that company :)

Modify them properly and fit proper tyres instead of pointless stretched tyres. i doubt Arch Attack will be able to do much as on the wide track/Hawk sti have next to no arch lip, show a body shop this guide and get them to do it properly

This is what i did with my car and I'm running 255/35/18s, i get very slight rub over speed bumps, but i need to get some negative camber to sort that.

That's an excellent guide and the photos of your car looks spot on in those photos. Good to see that it still looks pretty original too even with a flare on the arches.

Who did the work for you? Am very wary about taking the car to a body shop I know nothing about. How much did they charge?

Thanks

No problem and thanks :)

It was done by Grant at GHL Bodyworks in Ossett in West Yorkshire, he did a spot on job, and he's a scooby owner too

That's a long way for me to go from
South Wales but I'd be willing to travel for a spot on job especially if he knows the job. How long did it take?

A p.m (incase you don't want to put it on here) of the rough cost would be great just so I know what to expect :)

Cheers buddy

The car was with Grant for 2 weeks while I was on holiday, and had quite a few other jobs done, your best sending him a message, tell him you've seen Mikes car :thumb:

Thanks buddy, will do! Had a look on his fb page and there's a few more pics of your car on there, looks like it's had a fair bit done! Excellent work
