I'm running 9 all round with a small stretch. Got no rubbing issues after rolling the arches...... Even had 3 big lads in the back.

I will need to roll/flare my arches, is it someone here that can do the job or rent the tool for less money than archenemy.co.uk?

Thanks

I think with 10's you will need proper flaring and not with one of thos tools. I mean the actual arches cut and flared. I use to run 11's on the rear and 10's on the front of my cab and that's what i had to do. You can get 10's on there with machine flaring but the rims will stick out and you may have issues with MOT and the Police becaus the machine can only flare arches to a point then they start looking all ripply and fcuked!

Funny enough i've bought some Brocks in the same size you mentioned and i'm about to bribe Dips to flare my arches for me. I know they will stick out like i said but i want them to winkeye

I knew that you'll be the person that knows about them!

Same here.... just to poke out a bit
Arches flared just to not upset the rozzers on the street winkeye

Give me some details after you do your

16" 9j will fit easier but depends of the ET and suspension set up
