gavin.starr Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Does any one have an arch roller, I purchased some new wider wheels for my Polo but unfortunatley the wheels scuff on the outside of the wheel on the rad of the rubber down towards the sidewall, so i need to roll them in by a couple of mm to get rid of this. I was thinking of butchering an old car jack and a scateboard wheel to make my own but i thought it would be easier to ask on here first. Im in Preston ,Lancs. so the closer the better so i could collect without needing to get them delivered. Cheers in advance Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Turism0 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 apologies if this is a can of worms but is rolling preferable to arch cutting? I know a lot of the guys in states tend to prefer to cut the rear arches especially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 If you go on to Jamesys thread about having his arches rolled, they're is a member posting on the thread that has his own arch rolling gear as he used to do it at some point. Can't remember off the top of my head who it was tbh, but i know he rolled someones arches a month or so ago and it came out alright apparently. I cba to search through all the posts to find his name though tbh Edit: Turns out i CAN be arsed, here's the guy http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/member.php?11207-Al-Massey Infact i may actually email him myself as he's in Suffolk and i may need mine done in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin.starr Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 He's a bit far away from me tbh, I will only need it for a few hours and seems like a bit of a pain in the arse to be sending it up and down the country, I think i may end up just making one from an old car jack. Simular to this. [ATTACH=CONFIG]147666[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
