WaLKeRR Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Right okay ive found two alloys on the internet which are 9.5j et 12 and im unsure il fit these under stock arch ( dont want to roll them ) some people say i will others dont, anyone clarify this... currently at moment im running a 10j et 35, so im going to poke out about 15mm? would i need to run a stretch tyre, also these will be 18's not 17's but all that will do is lose some arch gap? any help appreciated as this offset crap does my nuts in!

mattdavies Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 You will need a roll and a minimum size tyre really, they stick out 1.7mm more then my wheels and i have had to roll the arch and run 255 on a 10" and will poke out 16.7mm more then your current set up i use Willtheyfit.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaLKeRR Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 well this is the thing thats weird i run a 265 on my 10j and have plenty of arch gap still and dont stick out too far (kyb gas shocks) Im going to have to buy the alloys brand new a reckon in 18" 10j and pay full price i guess I dont want an arch roll either, one body shop said the arch paint was to good ?? and would crack all my paint on the rear quarter??

The bodyshop i use hate rolling arches..they say water gets trapped in there and starts rusting.. so they have cut mine back and sealed them but that was during the respray... i think if there a cut back the heat effects the paint and the rear Qtrs will have to be repainted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Arch enemy are excellent if you do need an Arch roll, at most it will just crack the paint just where the arch is rolled and is not visable. a 18x10 et35 would be fine with a 265. - - - Updated - - - The bodyshop i use hate rolling arches..they say water gets trapped in there and starts rusting.. so they have cut mine back and sealed them but that was during the respray... i think if there a cut back the heat effects the paint and the rear Qtrs will have to be repainted they dont if you clean the lip first - roll it - then seal it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaLKeRR Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 so if i got the same offset in 18" in theory im only losing arch gap? not going to poke anymore, i presume im just being a cheapskate and opting to save a few hundred quid, on other hand if i got 10j i get a 3" rear dish right well il have to get them ordered up need them before all the shows!!

Al Massey Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I dont want an arch roll either, one body shop said the arch paint was to good ?? and would crack all my paint on the rear quarter?? The bodyshop i use hate rolling arches..they say water gets trapped in there and starts rusting.. so they have cut mine back and sealed them but that was during the respray Both myths. If done right, which anyone at arch enemy will do water will not get trapped and rust, it's also painted/coated at the back or it would rust now. And the paint will only crack if the re spray wasn't done properly. I've rolled suprasteveos arches and it came up amazing. No paint flake, chips or anything.
