Arch rolling/pulling - who's done it ?

Postby 93 Mk1 » Sat, 04 May 2013 1:47 +0000

Lads,

As the title says, who has modified their wheel arches by rolling and/or pulling them (not referring to flares) ?
How hard is it ? Is it worth it ? I've seen some dodgy examples on the other '5 forums where the arches are
uneven etc.

I have a set of 0 offset XXR 002's, yeah I known they are common (!), but I got them for free so shame not to
use them ! The front of the car is pretty low so it will definitely need arch mods if I want to fit these wheels.
Any thoughts/opinions ?

It's hard to make them uneven in my opinion. It's fairly straight forward with a roller once you take your time and a roller would be fine for getting those wheel on assuming they are 8j et 0
The best way forward is sideways

Yeah, the wheels are 8j and ET0. Is rolling back the lip sufficient or does the arch need to be pulled too ?
And yes Rhys, I'm in Cork !

Not much flare needed really. A roller will be enough for those wheels. Rhys has same sizes on his car, doe with a roller I think. I done mine with a hammer, could probably get 9j et 0 on the back if I wanted :-)

I believe a heat gun resolves that problem......worth a shot anyway.
