Arch rolling?

[Tom 46]

Hi, i just put some spacers on at the weekend, all seemed fine untill i gave my mates a lift to college this morning. All the way there, over any bump it was scraping the rear wheels/arches.

Whats the best way to combat this (apart from kicking my mate out the back)?

If i roll the arches slightly will it need respraying?

Thanks.

The only problem is that its ripping the tryes apart...although maybe the more it rips off the tyre, the less rubbing there will be...lol thats pikey

also the more it rips off the tyre the more likely it is to go pop!!

If you're painting your quarters by all means but don't think you could get away with rolling arches and the paint not flaking off.

Depends, sometimes the paint will crack when you roll the arches. Sometimes it won't. Just be aware that you might need it touching up afterward.

Are we talking about folding the spot welded arch on a clio here? And the paint won't flake :S

TBH i think i will just take a bit off the rear spacers to get them inside the arch a bit more. I think its the best step as i dont want to blow too much money on it
