Hi all

Know that 15mm is the recommended for 7-9 as it gives the closest fit to the arch without rolling.. Managed to get some 20mm hub entries for a very good price, considering they are eibach ;) test fitted one on the weekend see if it would fit. Can see there is going to be rubbing issues. The back of the car does sit too low so could increase the night on the back to provide more space for suspension travel just if it was to bottom out it will stick catch.

Guess I have two options, fit and roll or don't bother ;) still need a pair of 15mm for the front.

It did look good fitted ;)

Get them rolled properly,

Big pot or bump wheel clips the arch and puts a kink in it you will be very un happy,
Happened to a mate in a impreza stuck wide wheels on with spacers , coilovers hit a nice pot hole ruined the rear arch.

Yeah I don't want that, was more thinking it would just rip a nice hole in the tyre, kinked arch would be worse!!

Heard indigo do it so may give ant a ring about it, wish I had know this last week ;)

True, price of the rolling tool isn't cheap to be fair, can't say I would want to mess it up.. Be a costly error
