Rolling Arches

ESL · Post by **ESL** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 2:13 pm

I am committed to fitting 225/45 RE070s under a classic scooby. Is there anywhere near Cambridge that can roll arches and what would a reasonable price be to do all 4?

Alternatively I can grind the lip off, but fear this may reduce the structual integrity of the arch. Anyone tried this before?

Cheers

Andy

Do you need to do the fronts? Mine just touch the plastic liner, or did before the KWs. Don't touch at all now.

Wouldn't recommend grinding the lip away on the rears, it gives the arch strength and stability.

Can you really not just raise the suspension a bit?

You're only in Cambs. I could bring mine over for you to look at, if you like and maybe try the wheels on it, etc. You could also see the rolled arches.

Anything but take a grinder to your car

Happy to hire, when would it be Stu, have a sprint on Sunday!

Archenemy look good, will call if they can get to Cambridge

I'm going to bring the suspension up a bit Gerry, but the tyres just dont fit under the arches, front or rear. The rear may have something to do with the amount of neg camber requring spacers, but I dont want the geometry chasing the tyre if you know what I mean.

I was thinking of getting some 070s at some point, but you have me worried now. Blacky's struggling as well although his wheels are bigger.

I'd be very interested to know how he's got round it.
