Arch Rolling...

[Junior02]

So, 15" Almera GTI alloys on, but now it rubs like a beeyatch with any load in the back. I have heard about arch rolling and think it might be the answer...

Where would I go to get this done? Is it DIY'able?!

you can get arch rolling kits, ask around in your local bodyshops. depending on the size of the wheel using depends how far you wana go, you may have to get the quarter painted if your going for a big flare. or you can jack it up stick a broom handle in the arch lower the car down and roll it back and forth

sure you can go around and ask or you can even rent arch roller from ebay for about 50 quid. videos show free DIY

i tries a scaffpole and about 1/2 a ton of extra weight in the back and it did sweet F/A really, and i doubt if you can archroll the front without stretching the doorgap
but whacking the flange back on itself with a hide mallet gives a fair bit of extra clearance tho

thats what the jap video shows. he tried the pipe first and then did the mallet method, so i assume it dont do anything really.

I love that video.
