As far as I know, the previous owner had the bits of metal where the arches screw into chopped off, then the arches stuck on, I don't think they have been rolled though

alrite mate ive got 17s lowered 40mm ive removed the inner arch liners hasnt caused me any trouble? i also cut the arch jus under the bolt holes on the rear and grinded the bolts on the iside of the arch down. duznt rub at all unless ive got a car full. wheels are 42et offset your best bet is to try and get as close to a 49 et offset
