debolt the plastic arch.... and stick it on with sealant... you might even get away with removing just the top most bolt....

sorry to kinda hijack the post but was just about to post bout this myself! i'm running 8" wide 195/45/16 wheels with standard 1995 SRi arches on quite a drop using FK coilovers. They're scrubbing like hell as the wheels are wider than the arches (stick out by bout half inch), anyone know where i can get wider standard looking arches from (its a bit of a sleeper so dont want anything OTT). Or a way of cutting/adjusting the standard ones (front and back).
