ATS Cups rubbing - rolling arches
Anyone out there running 15" x 7" Et28 ATS Cups? I know they are a Marmite wheel but I love them. There are a lot of threads on here about them rubbing on the back and that you need to roll the rear arches to run 195 x 50's on them.
My question is do I need to roll the front arches too? All comments appreciated.

My car is down 40mm and with a passenger the rear used to rub, the front has always been fine. Oh and Cups are awesome rims, I love them.

'Scuse my ignorance, folks, but what exactly IS 'rolling the rear arches'?

Basically it means the attachment of a special tool on the hub which arcs round and a roller presses the wheel arch lip upwards into the arch, away from the tyre edge.

AHA!
Many Thanks!
And will my local VDub independant specialists have this tool? Or where do I go? (I'm at BA11 6PU)

There tend to be specialists who will provide this service. I'd get other peoples views on it before you commit to doing this. I should imagine it will put a lot of stress on the metal, potentially crack the paint and you'll run the risk of rust. I guess they'll seal and paint it afterwards but worth geting a few opinions and recommendations first.
