TomWeight Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I'm thinking about getting rolled arches done in the near future but I'm not sure whether or not to go for it. Has anyone got any pictures of their rolled arches? Or even some before and after shots would be perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 What do you mean by arches rolled? Lips rolled flat or Arches flared out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWeight Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Sorry I mean flared out. Just thinking of arch mods in general really. Only running 265s on the rear and will eventually look to get a more aggresive set up on the wheels but I don't want to mess about with the body too much because I like the car as stock as possible.

Ric Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Rolling is OK, slight risk of damaging the paint although i've had 2 cars rolled and only 1 arch had a slight crack. Flaring is much more risky, more chance of cracking/flaking paint and you can't get that much out of the supra arches regarding flaring. I used archenemy all the times ive had work done.

Big Mark Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I had my lips rolled 18+ months ago by arch enemy but have just had them flared professionally in a bodyshop to accommodate new wheels. Arch Enemy won't flare a Supra arch anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Might have mine rolled at some point too, I'm going to use arch enemy because they seem like the popular choice + they come and do it at your house so it's convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Adam I think it was a Arch enemy rolled my lips and a slight pull (unsure if a flare is a pull) but tiny bit of a pull. Did a very good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I had mine rolled by Arch enemy. The guy who turned up was every knowledgeable and would recommend them. I think its different people in different regions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Another option that hasn't been mentioned is cutting the arch lip out. I didn't want to flare mine and a roll would have been very tight with my wheel/tyre setup so SRD cut the lip off the arch. It then needed grinding, sealing and treating for rust protection but solved my problem perfectly. Be careful though as they are doubled skinned iirc, so there might even be a small amount of tacking needed with a welder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I had mine cut by baldy he did a brilliant job an it looks better than my old supras rolled arches imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Yep I cut mine back, prepped, sealed and treated instead of getting them rolled. I personally think it's a better way of doing it, 3 years on driving it all year round and no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_harmer32 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I had 2 of my Supra's rolled flat by Archenemy. Great job both times. Come to your house and seal it all up properly after so nothing gets trapped in the gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yep got all four of my arches rolled and flared and no issues to report other than one of my front arch liners has come away but I'm just going to cut it to suit and stop it rubbing on the wheel when turning hard left.

Al Massey Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 There's a few threads on here with before and after pics of arches I've rolled. It's fairly straight forward. With a roll you sometimes get a slight flare, very slight. But with a proper flare, it will most likely damage the paint as you are pulling out the metal and the paint can't stretch that far.
