How much does it cost to get arches rolled?



  Ph2 FF 172
I've just put on some new wheels and before they nay sayers start up... I know that 17's will effect the handling but, I really like the look and soon as my memebership goes through I'll stick up some pics. However, you guys who advised me no to do it, can take some comfort in knowing that you were right, they are rubbing the arches everytime I hit a bump.

So, my question is two fold...

How much will it cost to get arches rolled and can anyone recomend anywhere in the Wilts area?
Cheers all!

Front arches are plastic...
As for the rears, I don't know of anyone that's done it, usually they just bin the liners and this solves the rubbing issues.

Oh ok cool, it is only the rears that are problem. So is that easy enough to DIY?

not really a DIY job. if you angle grind the lip away and then paint the back to stop it corroding you risk weakening the section. so best bet is to go somewhere proper like R tec where they roll the arch and keep all the metal present.

the rear is not a problem,but is half metal and rear plastic!
on the front the contact with 17s is where the plastic bumper/valance bolts/screws on!and also the inner tyre edge which you cannot get (rolled too)so to overcome that you need a mere 6mm spacer.hope this helps

Thanks guys,

It's only rubbing on the back so how do I go about binning the liners?
