Default Rolling / Flared arches

Since fitting 245 40 18 R888's im getting a little bit of rubbing when hard cornering. I dont want to raise the coilovers up as its just had the geo setup and i like the stance the car has now.

Is it a DIY job rolling the arches or anyone know of someone in south wales that does it.

Starting to think 245's are a little wide for 8" rims, sure i can feel them moving around a bit in the corners

You can rent arch rolelrs on ebay i believe.

I borrowed my mates & did it myself on my arches was very easy i wasnt too worried about paint so didnt bother to heat them up so 1 did crack but the other was fine.

if not & you fancy a trip to bristol give James @ Restomod a call as he has a roller & can do it for you 07920850712

Well i did them myself, not quite what i'd call rolling the arches. basically made about 10 slits along the arch then folded them back flat againt the inner quarter. re-sealed everything and it looks good.

hasnt quite solved the rubbing though, i now only get it when fast cornering towards the left going down hill, lol, but still sounds as though its coming rom the rear right but cant see where

In my experience I think you might find they are rubbing on the inside
