Ive just ordered a set of 17" Dare RLR alloys, they have a 45mm offset and have 205/40/17 tyres,

Any one know how bad these will rub in my arches?

They have been rolled by the way.

neil-nova has had his front and rear arches rolled back. he's got 205/45/17. but an offset of 35. so had to have his arches flared. couldn't answer about rubbing tho.

i only know this as i am getting 16's this week end and i have asked loads of peps on here. you know who you all are and a big thanks to you.

depends on if ur cars lowered adn how much, but more that likely it will rub unless u roll the arches, u can easily fit 18's on if ur prpeared to do a wee bit ov work

what do you call "shit loads of work" the arches on the rear rear rolled flat (thats all not flared) the arches on the front were cut up a bit and rolled flat, nothing major no big deal in fact those were done for the 17s then the 18s went straight on, admitedly there was 0.5mm clearence on one sides rear arch but the point is they fitted without to much hassle, hardest part was the front being cut up, breen has more details of course.

He told me that he cut the front wings up by 2cm and folded the lips up, on the rear he had the rear arches tapped back or something like that
