JDukesy Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Did you cut the arch instead of rolling? I was considering this because I know a lot of the US guys do it but don't know how to go about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Love the wheels, what tyre sizes are you running on them? More info regarding rolling arches please - did you just cut them and seal them or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline1 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I cut the arches as they are double skinned so not as easy to roll apparently and also didn't wanna risk the paint cracking on me. They have been ground out mainly around the top where the tyre is at its closest point to the arch. They have been sealed too so no chance of rusting . Tyres are maxis maz1 victras, quite good and have a track style tread to them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline1 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Front tyres are 35 235 and rears are 35 265 , I hear the front rub on the inner arch lining on full lock a little but that's all , no issues to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDukesy Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Don't suppose you could do a little DIY on cutting the arches as I want to give it a go but don't know where to start and a little advice would be a massive help! What tools did you use? What have you done after cutting it? Aka touch up paint etc.? Pm me if you don't want to clutter your thread?
