Graham1984 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 As in the title really, I get a scrape infrequently if turning quite sharply, mainly if there is two people in the car. Just wondered on opinions/cost ect. Cheers folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Have the arch lips trimmed instead - you can get the 50 pence look if you're not careful with the arch rolling. Cost of either shouldn't be exceeding £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Definitely take the above advice, supra lips are double skinned from memory, and they should be cut rather than rolled for best results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Ive always rolled them, try a guy called Arch Enemy !!! If a dedicated arch rolling machine is used and the panel wrmed up you can get em almost flat on themselves with no damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Only problem with getting them cut is your opening yourself up to rust getting in there. Are you running on 19's (or an aggressive offset) or very low suspension Graham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 I have a new set of wheels to go on so will see what happens with them first, thanks for the advice chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just on 18's, I brought Monkpowers bilsteins with unknown springs on them which lowered it a lot compared to stock but there is still about an inch and a bit gap from wheel to arch looking side on iirc.

I reckon you'll be fine, depending on the offset of the wheels mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_cbr Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Arch Enemy gets from me he came down to mine to do my mates mr2 did a very good job would have done mine at the same time but he had to go do 2 more after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I've rolled quite a few now and never had problems, patience and heat is all that's required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'd think it more likely to be rubbing under the arches, not on the lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Arch enemy, they roll them and seal them. £90 a pair of arches. I would recommend them time and time again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline1 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Always the risk of the paint cracking when rolling arches so bear that in mind too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Don't cut them when you don't need to! They will roll easily with zero issues. Cutting an arch is only sensible to do when there's no other method! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Where are you located? I was trained by the owner of arch enemy and have all my own kit I rolled suprasteveo's he had pictures in his thread Very easy to do if you know what you are doing.

I am in West sussex (south of Guildford) area. It makes me wonder if like David P said it's the arch itself over the lip. I will be interested to see what happens with these other wheels though.

David P Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Take a front wheel off and look, you'll easily see where it's rubbing, front lower mudguard is my bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Take a front wheel off and look, you'll easily see where it's rubbing, front lower mudguard is my bet. If it is rubbing there for example, what are the options to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 If it's a little bit, then a little bit of tinkering with the mudguard mounting holes will cure it. If not, lift it a nodger or use a wheel/tyre combo with smaller final diameter. Mine's 2" lowered with 235 40 18's on TTE's and they clear, just.

Not sure how much mine is lowered but I run 235/40/18's too. It is a once in a blue moon event but annoying anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) they use the heatgun to stop the paint cracking bud alot of people that use the real arch rollers use heatguns first to heat it up Edited December 8, 2013 by ashbuster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
