Them evo 8wheels look spot on. Was it only a gentle roll or a fully fledged flatten it all the way back. Ok if i dont have a roll whats the biggest then.
And is 215 45 the best tyer size


i did see them live in norwich a cupple of years ago. Dont know many of there songs but what i do know of them is really good

Yea see my mates iV was lowered hence the need to roll the arches even though we took the 235/45 tyres off and replaced with original 215/45

I say roll, it was more of a wack with a soft mallet :)

Yeah my technique was with a hot air gun, mole grips and soft mallet. Did the job though.

think some one just wants to piss in my chips .just had a peoper look at my arches and it looks like there is a bit of filler on one ,so not sure if i can roll now ,one of my friends is looking in to it as he works in a body shop and has a roller ,so from what i can work out is that with a 215 45 17 evo 8 wheels will fit with no roll even when lowered ,what other evo wheels will fit no worries .
