Can the rear arches be rolled on a widetrack blob? Doesn't need a lot but I want it to still sit low! Guess I could fit a stiffer ARB to help with the scrubbing issue when cornering too?

You can't roll the widetrack as there's nothing to roll also you will struggle to get it lower as I did am at prob the lowest it can go due to it having the wider track the wheels hit the arch rather than sitting in on the other blobs I grinded the lip of as there's nothing to roll then sanded and hamerited after for rust as they do a very similar blue

My rears bottom out on the standard suspension
Take it to a good bodyshop and get them to trim and seal them tht should sort it out

Cheers byers, thought this might be an issue might be able to get round it by adjusting the height a bit and maybe stiffening the rear. Not planning to drive like I'm on a track with these wheels on more for looks than anything but it still has to work lol!
Did you manage to stop the scrubbing completely?

Cheers natski, any recommended body shops to do this? Has to be a good job as I'm very fussy about things being right on my car possibly have a mild case of OCD when it come to things like this

Do it yourself there is no sealing to do as there is no lip literally take a bit of with a grinder then paint.. Trev did mine.. Yer does no catch unless I have passengers in and throwing it around mines at its limit height wise like u say more for looks like mine is.. Still chuck around like !!

Sounds like a plan buddy, have you got any pics of what was done to your arches or can you post a pic to show how it is now? Guessing just need to chop a bit out either side of centre of the arch?
Might have to ask work if I can borrow the workshop for a few hours

No worries thanks for that mate the wheels work really well on your car looks really aggressive, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh! Have you got 225/40s ? Looks like quite a stretch in the pics
