hey guys tks for the advice .This is a 318is with factory mtec suspension . it hasnt been lowered .the tyres are 215x45x17 so i they are a little bigger than the regular 40 series and i think that is the problem . So far i have been hammering them thru a piece of wood but they just dont want to bend . Does heat help?

I did my daytona violet touring in germany with a ducktape wrapped scaffold pole years ago, had to put a couple of bags of sand and 3 kids in the boot, the rear arch literally exploded, they had already been widened by a previous owner who had then built them back up with bodyfiller to look standard before respraying, he just didnt widen them enough and the mot station failed the car on them when i took it in :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
