Yeah I'm a little nervous about it but we shall see. Running a 215/40/17 I'm sure, maybe 215/45/17 actually but I think it's a 40. It's my friends roller he just bought, looks pretty jazzy and I'm hoping it will not be needed too much... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaungt4 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Not sure what your arches are like but the lip on mine tends to slope down a bit rather than straight or slightly upward like on most model cars . Rollers are not to bad in price now . Can pick them up for around £40-£50. The paint doesn't need that much heat to stop it cracking , Just a quick over with a heat gun before each roll will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serratia Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 £60 a side to have mine professionally rolled and the inside lip sealed to prevent corrosion. I run 22mm rear spacers with 215/45/17s plus Meister R coilovers. Before rolling I got scrubbage, now I get none. Even when the boot is filled with 10 bags of sand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cipprio Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Anyone near to the southwest with an arch roller I could borrow or hire [emoji6] Edited April 18, 2015 by cipprio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipprio Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Ok I'm looking at getting some new spacers maybe instead of arch rolling but can't work out what size to go down to. I've got 25mm now with 215 tyres and they just rub on the inside lip so I'm thinking maybe 20mm spacers. What does everyone think?. I gotta take onto account I have some negative camber that will hopefully be sorted eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serratia Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I went from 25mm to 22mm to reduce scrubbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisek Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 My advice, get it done by a pro. My mate tried one of mine at the weekend and it didn't go well. Save yourself the time and money in the long run and get it done by a pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at smaller spacers now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisek Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Same, I'm gonna run with 17's out the aback I think and get my arched rolled by a pro. It's not worth cracking the paint/making a mess of it when it's relatively cheap to be done by a pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not worth cracking the paint/making a mess of it when it's relatively cheap to be done by a pro I managed to slightly bent up the lip with a protective ended clamp, only slightly as not to crack the paint..haven't had any more rubbing but I know I will with a bit more weight in..Can't find anywhere in Bristol to arch roll.

Lewisek Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 There must be a mobile arch rolling company who can do them round these parts, if not it's a big niche in the market! The arch has a sealed lip thing running along the inside and which needs to be removed if you're going for a full roll I think, that's what I read. it's painted on but looks like silicone seal when it comes off pretty much. If you managed to bend the lip up without it separating that lip from the arch then you're doing well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipprio Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) I only bent it up a few mm just to the point I felt the paint would split..bit of a bodge to be honest but it can't be seen...lol Edited April 20, 2015 by cipprio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcusslerfan Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Archenemy do mobile rolling but only come as close as Oxfordshire and they want £50 per arch..Might it be worth gauging interest and then seeing if members want to meet at a mutually acceptable location that archenemy can come to and do a "group roll"! [emoji2] Obviously we'd be looking for a group discount from them! [emoji12] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji2] Obviously we'd be looking for a group discount from them! [emoji12]That's a good idea mark. They come as far as Oxfordshire but may do further afar if they had a group roll. ..lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisek Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I would happily pay 50 per arch, I mean, the cost of a decent paint shop fixing cracked paint is going to be a lot more than the cost of getting it done properly. I'm interested in a group roll/mini meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
