Re: Flare and Rolls and round arches for MK1
rolling the fenders always helps though depending on his offset

Depending on the offset. If it's lower than like 15-10 then yeah you will probably have rubbing issues.1.9TurboVw wrote:+1Dirty Harry wrote:For the wheels you fitting you shouldn't need to do any arch work IMHO
ET 20 on 8's is a good place to aim for (You need to clear the struts also so can't go a hell of a lot higher than ET20 either.)

Re: Flare and Rolls and round arches for MK1
hi gents
looking to get my wheel arches rolled and I found this thread. I'm in Durban, does this magical Rudy still exist? I was quoted 4,5k to roll my arches so I'm shopping around for a bit of a better price and the best value. Any feedback is greatly appreciated

Re: Flare and Rolls and round arches for MK1
It looks good, BUT
This will still rub if you going to slam the car.
I had the same problem , Flaring the fender alone will not help....
I bought new fenders and my panel-beater welded on the older fenders archers(extended archers) to the new.
Please note: if your panel beater took the fold inside the fender out, your archers will be weak and any contact with the tyre will tear the fender(happened to me twice)
Before.
After.
