Deadmetal Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Are you scrubbing on the outside of the arches or the arch liner? Oh what tires you running?Get the arched rolled (heat gun and rubber mallet sorted mine out)and if you're still rubbing there must be a way of removiing the arch liner but keeping the bit that covers the gap in the rear bumper.

scotty_82 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Whats the spec of the wheels and tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memousey Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 the profile on the tyers is 50 and its just the outer edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 That helps a little , wheel diameter, width and offset may also help . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 50 profile is your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) If its the outer edge, rolling the arches should solve your problems.What exact wheel and tire specs are you running? Edited March 25, 2010 by Deadmetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Or a less expensive fix would be to heighten it for the time being Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memousey Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 supose i guna have to make it higher could i roll the arches my self? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 With a big bar and big balls yes.Otherwise its borrowing/purchasing an arch rolling piece of kit or paying about ยฃ100 to get all four done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luperb Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 supose i guna have to make it higher could i roll the arches my self?It's a straight forward job to roll the arches.....if ya got the arch roller. Watch clips on it on you tube the key is to ensure that you apply the heat to stop the paint cracking. I found a roller on ebay for ยฃ170 - tip- buy it and rent it out or master the technique yourself so you can earn the money back for tool. Very useful. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudaz Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 to be fair you might find that you dont have to raise the suspension up that much for it to stop scraping... just do it a bit at a time and take it around the block and jack it a bit more, i had to take mine up very slightly to stop the rubbing, and i cant even really notice the height difference now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
