does anyone have a set of 18" wheels fitted? if so do you know what arch mods have to be carried out to allow the wheels to clear? a mate of mine says that he pushed his outer arches out 1.5" at the back and fitted a set and they didn't scrub at all would this be right and if so how do you push the rear arches out at the back as that w****r of a mate of mine won't tell me how he done it. The rear arch lips on my car are already cut so there is no problem with the current 16" wheels screbbing please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What arch mods do you not need! lol The rear arches can be flared but i believe you need a special machien to do this which some body shops might have but finding one that has it cud be hard. Rick
