you cannot roll a corsa arch, they are plastic, you can drop a corsa 60mm on 16s, without any major arch mods, maybe remove a couple of bolts on each arch, sometimes not even that is required.

I wouldn't have said so.

Et42 are they not?

Mine are 15's, and theres still shit loads of room. Might struggle with people in the back though.

Hope that helps

run your hand behind the plastic arch and above it, and you will see there is nothing to 'roll'!!
