Widening Arches

[Virtual_Unknown]

As ive been told that is quite difficult and quite expensive to put 16v rear arches onto a Maxe it?

ive found a local garage that reckon that they can widen my arches for me, it apparently wont look as good as the 16v arches but will flare them slightly-

just wondering if anyone else has considered this or has done it?

Also, how low can you go without doing anything to the arches as im looking at dropping it 60mm?

Depends what size wheels/tyres you have,

im planning to put 15s on - either Toora 8 spoke or Oz titans

going to see the guy at the garage today to get a quote and find out exactly how hes gonna do it - any reccomendations?

I have 15" ox titans on mine, 195/45 tyres, and am planning to drop it 60mm

Shouldnt be a prob unless you have v.wide wheels, wot i did, get 3 of ur largest m8s to pile in the back and then have a look at the wheels, mine was down so that the tyre was inside that arch and there was no rubbing

i dont just wont them widened to fit my alloys but i just think it will look better if theyre wider aswell - just wondered if anyone had had this done?

To put the rear arches would involve welding them on, thats a lot of money and time!

thsts why im not going for the 16v arches - i just wanna widen the ones ive got to make them look a little better and to give me extra clearance on my alloys when lowered.

[Virtual_Unknown]

what price we talking and what kind of things they do?

 

[kliokrazy]

55ml, 17s and little bit of arch work..... i think it would look better

 

[Virtual_Unknown]

17s and rolling my arches??? nah, think ill pass - would rather lower my car more and not roll my arches - i want her as low as possible, not rolling on 17s

he will do anything u desire basically and its excellent quality work too. prices depend on what u want, aint a clue on that one
