[Mk2] [Generic] Flared/rolled arches

[Mike]

Hi folks,

Has anyone added a slight flare to their arches? Im not talking about a full on wide arch kit, just flaring the standard arches to accomodate wider wheels.

The only thing I can see being an issue is the plastic trim that runs down the side and meets the arch.

Thanks

Nobody?

try a search, using 'arches and flared' or 'arches and rolling'
there are many posts.
woodsport in affiliates section does flaring.

Most people get the inner lip tucked/rolled in which should suffice. Really depends on how wide you're going/wheel offsets etc.. As Baker mentioned Woodsport has arches available if you're going wild.

Yes I have, I used arch enemy.

Very tidy job, now I fit the 9J 245/45/17 under them.

I bought an arch roller on ebay for less than those companies charge to roll a set of arches.

Its pretty easy to do, I used a heat gun to stop the paint cracking (Ive since been told this is hit and miss anyway)

Can fit 255/45 x 16 under the rear now. Usually run 245/45 x 16 Kumho V70A in medium.

my rears were rolled by arch enemy to accomodate my 255/35/18 on 9j advans
& yes the only problem is the rear (bumper side) molding no longer has a screw in point.
