Wheel arch rolling

[gsd2000]

After thunder road i have now realised that my wheel arches could do the some slight adjustment as the nobbly bits on the edge of the tyre have worn away. I know i can trim the inner lip of the rear arches to the spot welds to gain 3-4mm easily but will the paint crack as soon as the rears get rolled?

Can the rears get rolled and pulled 3-4mm more without the paint cracking?

Can the front arches be rolled okay aswell?

I am based in the midlands who do people recommend?

The annoying thing is i thought i played it safe with 8" alloys with a +40 offset but i think its my goodyear tyres that are the problem due to their large rim protection. Looking back i should have gone +45 or even wider at the back if i'm getting the rears rolled.

I can get some photos to show the tyres tomorrow.

What size are your tyres and whats the normal offset ?

[gsd2000]

tyres are 235/40/18 and the normal offset is +48

Also can i safely run a touch more negative chamber without affecting the handling and tyre wear too much?

255's fit on the back just fine.


And arch rolling always carries a risk of paint or panel damage.. Its just a risk you take.

i went for aftermarket wheels as at the time i was struggling to get some standard wheels plugs the ap's are very very close on standard wheels which i didn't really like
