MarkB Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Getting to the stage where I will have to either cut or roll the inner lip of the wheel arch to give tyre clearance. I am tempted to trim off a piece in the centre as that should give enough clearance, but don't want it to look butchered or a bodged so was considering rolling them. Never attempted rolling before and should have tackled this whilst the tub was off and upside down but I didn't look that far ahead at the time. Is it worth buying a wheel arch roller or just score it and tap or fold it over. This section is all new metal so don't want to distort of damage the outer wheel arch . Any suggestions?

Davemate Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I've got 185 tyres and they don't rub,what size tyre are you using ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hi DaveI've got the same Dunlop steels as you fitted 185 70 13 Firestone tyres. I have a Mk2 Vitesse but using Kingston Sports cars sliding splines, in place of roto-flex,with a de-cambered spring The car will sit about 3" lower than standard.

Davemate Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I started off with a 1200 herald,1500 spit diff,swing spring(modded), spax shocks and I kept the "short shafts".I do have quite a lot of neg camber though,so that's probably why the top of the tyres are totally inside the arch !I know it's only a toy,but my iphone says 8-10 degrees neg camber !!!
