BBS E88s and fitting

[Singh911]

I'm about to order a set of E88s for my mk1 996 gt3.

Ive read the various threads but still have some questions about it.

1 what is meant by rolling the arches - major job? or something a competent body shop could do easily?
2 if anyone has had this done at a garage around west London or surrounding areas into surrey please let me know
3 I've been advised by Gert that 8,5x18 ET40 and 11x18 ET63 are the ones to go for - and will not need any arches rolled etc. i'd be grateful for any experience with this
4 tyre choice - we are very limited with the 225/40 and 285/30 - is there a way to go for slightly different sizes and order the appropriate sized wheels to get more rubber choice. I really like the Michelin 4S I have on another car which Porsche bolted on for me. But not available in 18s.

Apparently around 6 weeks+ lead time and expensive!

Thanks!

Can i ask how long you have been waiting please? I'm after the gold too.

Will you do the anodising yourself? - using what products please?

Cheers

It's a surprisingly long time. I've asked if we can change to 9" fronts at ET50, on the basis of if you don't ask, you don't get, but I don't expect it to work.

Would you be able to fit 9s on to a mk1 996gt3? I want gold as well - and given that they're being made to order, surely they can accomodate that?

E88s ordered to day - will report back when delivered.
I like the idea of anodising - anybody know of somewhere reliable in west London?

cheers
