Arch rolling. Some help, please...

Post by DelG40 »

Ok, so I've noticed now that both arches at the back (one more than the other actually) are rubbing on the outside of my tyres on body roll/corners etc. Can someone tell me what's involved in arch rolling exactly? And does someone know roughly how much I should expect to pay to get it done.

One more thing, does someone know where to get longer studs for my car online?

EDIT: It actually appears just to be touching the plastic arch trim, it's little small grooves I'n my wheel in the same place each time, no wider than 2/3mm. Can I just cut/file the plastic arch back to stop this?

Yes, you can just trim some of the plastic arch lip away to stop it. You probably wan't to take some off the meatl lip, too. Seal it up after and your away.
