my car has been lowered, however, i think it could go down half an inch.

 

my wheels are 9J, and i have 225/45/17 tires.

 

dont want to get the arches rolled, as the wheels will not be wide enough to come to the edge of the arch then.

 

can i just cut the inside of the arch away? as the arch folds in by about 1 inch.

 

dont want my tires to hit the inside of the arch

Offset?

 

IMHO, steer well clear of cutting the arch lip!!!

Cutting the folded lip away would be a mistake, this is what gives the arch it's strength. You can do a very slight roll which will only pull the arch out by a fraction and will roll the lip flat against the inside of the arch. I have 19 x 10.5's wheels on mine with 275/40's and they clear just fine with this method.

dont know the offset sorry.

 

ok, il just lower the car so its a few mm clearence from the arch lip.

 

thanks for the advice! was going to get the angle grinder out on the weekend :D

Well, you'll need to find the offset to see if they'll fit and/or how much the arch will need tugging.

 

My rears are level with the arch itself.

 

looked everywhere on the wheel, doenst say the offset (should it? and im being blind?)

 

they come flush to the arch id say, but il take a pic for you all to see what i mean tomorrow :dance:

They should unless they're custom or have been modified. Usually stamped on the inner or outter hub faces or on the inner rim lip.

Did i hear someone say Offset? Mmmmwahahaha

 

 

p.s si your car is far too clean.
