Rolling Arches - North East Recommendation

Just wondering if anyone in the NE has had their arches rolled & can recommend them. Also what's the chance of paint cracking, low risk, 50/50 or high risk?

Front or rear arches?

Had Envy do mine but had the wing's sprayed afterwards

Front or rear arches?

Rear Rob,

Was that because they cracked Ro, or were you getting them sprayed anyway?

The rears have a stiffening lip on them mate, people usually either remove it, or half it. The rear wings are also spot welded so if you do roll them, they can distort

I didnt notice yours were rolled Ro

Was getting them sprayed anyway but i think it's very very hard to roll them without cracking slightly.

So would you say it's safer to grind the lip down, rather than rolling it?

terry rolled mine, but after i went 285 then 295 I'm back on 275; tramline hell.

I've just put some 295's on Mike! Struggling for grip with Eagle F1's, & very restricted (1 size ) in R888's as to what I can fit on. Terry S?????

I would say so, otherwise you are looking at bodywork etc

Cool, thats what I did on my old car, will make sure this time I don't let the grinder slip & go up the 1/4 panel

Yes, that might be wise

Do it Japanese style

Lol, so for large flares a telegraph pole is the ideal choice

yep!, and dont forget your pink spray can!!!!!!!!

i used archenemy to do mine, no cracking of paint whatsoever, although i did have to sign a waiver incase the paint did crack, although he said it was very rare

Terry was the guy who built my car; one of the earlier supra guys, he's not around anymore...

The 295's did have good grip in a straight line, but they were god awful when off power. Mine were 19's and p-zero's.. i think they may have been a poor choice for the car anyway, but to say the car was almost undrivable would be a severe understatement.

I know Michel uses 11x18" rims on his car with 888's so hopefully you will be ok!
