Just got myself some 18' Oz super leg's with 225/35's & there was slight rubbing when loaded up & cornering.
I'd been told conflicting stories on rolling the rear arches on an Impreza due to them being double skinned & was struggling to find someone to do it.
I found a very friendly tyre company locally who were good enough to lend me the tool & we had a go !
With the right tool for the job it's actually very easy, the paint under the arch does crack slightly (even when heated up) but we just re-undersealed the under arch once rolled & it worked a treat. No more rubbing
Here's a piccy of the tool in action
