ok so i took the car out for a very short drive today, and its low (on gab adjustable struts and tein springs) i have also just fitted 20mm rear spacers and the os tyre came back with the tell tale mark on the tyre, so is there anywhere local to me (nr oxford) that rolls arches or is the tool that does it cheap to buy?
cheers

Re: arch rolling
You want arch enemy, really professional.
Re: arch rolling
cheers, ive found the tool, it seems to be about £130-150 and i cannot feel its not going to be hard to actually do it, i might buy one and give it a bash on a car im breaking before i try it on my car, might have a go at flaring them a little too
Re: arch rolling
im going to buy a tool and do it myself, if anyone wants theirs doing ill do it cheap, arch enemy want £90 for a pair doing which seems like a lot for what they are actually doing
Re: arch rolling
Its not hard,just get the paint nice and warm on a warm wind free day

Re: arch rolling
i know i couldnt believe how simple it would be, i guess the only thing that stops people doing it themselves is the cost of the tool
Re: arch rolling
Hired mine from ebay for £60 with a £100 deposit,did consider buying one and hiring it out,could make a killing at a car meet

Re: arch rolling
Someone on here had one for hire too, that's how I did mine.
You need to be careful with the side strips when you roll the rear arches. Depending on your tyre size you may have to roll the arches so much that you roll the smaller mounts inside the arch for the side strips out of the way in order to get tyre clearance. You'll then get tyre -> side strip contact and they'll snap off (or gouge a hole in your tyre).
