It means the inner part of the arch will be rolled so there is more room in the arch, its not really visible from the outside and not a big job at all

Which wheels are you going for

they would be worth the effort tho! u should get away with just having the arches rolled or maybe u might have to cut away the inner lip on the arch tho im not sure if thats something to be avoided like the plague.

What size are they?

Shouldnt cost alot really around 25 quid a side :?

Its just a case of knocking that 'Ledge' that all the mud and crap sits on top of "flat"... Make sure you get them sealed properly aswell!!

Its the width that will be the problem though, if they are too wide they will foul the arches

Im not 100% on the maximum size for a standard e30, but i would guess anything over 7.5" would require mods??

Not entirly correct. It all depends on the drop of the car and the tyre choice. I use to run 17x9 Borbet A's on my cab and didnt have any arch work. I had to go for a stretched look on the tyre to compensate for that though!

OK, lets start again here -

Which wheels are you looking at buying?

What size are the wheels? ( please dont just say 16")

How much has your car been lowered?

If you answer these questions it will be much easier for people to help

dude, resize your pics to 800 wide, then press 'enter' betweent he 2 pics so the code has a space and they can stack right. The width is a PITA.
