J_Supra_07 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Iam Widening my 3pc rims to 12" wide but the question is I have checked and they will sit outside the arch by 20cm. Will the arch pull and roll out that much without any damage or loss of shape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 most you will get from a arch flare is prob 15mm mate but more times than not it will crack the paint work and usually require some smoothing at a bodyshop unless you get lucky!

J_Supra_07 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Was thinking 20mm was a bit much I'll ask the people what they think. I don't realy want a wide body but may need arch work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 You will never get 20mm with an arch pull, also to consider is the metal has to come from somewhere, pull the top out 20mm and the sides will pull in, you would end up with a heavily distorted arch, I still think the best way to gain a little room is what supradibbs did, smoothed in JDL arches.

Jamesy Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 As above - i had my arches pulled, it came out about 15mm but left me a nice dent in my rear 1/4 which i had to get fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
