rolling? trimming?

[jakeufton]

my speedlines rub on my arches like a bitch and just wondering what the best method is to sort it some of my mate say roll the arches and im just wondering how easy it is to do etc. or what alloys are out there you would reccommend that wont rub, thanks

What Speedlines are they mate? My nova was lower 100mm and never caught once

[vaughanmc]

My Speedline Alessio's rubbed the inner arch but never once caught the outer arch lip

But they did catch on the front wing lips so I folded them flat where they rubbed :)

[jakeufton]

thats the problem.. how much will it cost to get the arches rolled proper? i mean if i do it then ill end up craking and flaking the paint from the arches?

[vaughanmc]

How much are they catching by though ? You might get away with grinding a wee bit off just enough so that they clear then touch it back up with the bodycolour or some Underseal or Waxoyl...

Probably about £100 for all 4 to be rolled professionally. http://www.archenemy.co.uk/index.htm

they shouldnt rub- its probably down to your tyres...

Get some 195 40s on there;)

ok cheers for the help guys archenemy lol!

Mine rubbed loads on the drivers side and then a fair bit passenger side once lowered. It's just luck whether they rub or not I reckon esp. given the reputed +-5mm tolerances on the beam.

Mine have never caught the front arches though, loads of space.

It depends what day of the week your nova was made. mine was made on a wednesday, totally different to a tuesday one. :thumb:

to get the centre caps on my speedlines i need spacers is this true for other alloys cesareos or slabs say?

[phazer]

You'll need to remove the dust caps on the rear drums and grind the end of the drive shaft on the front - do it with the castle nut in place then when you remove it will clean the threads up. No need for spacers - it'll make you arch problems even worse otherwise.
