Is it possible to roll rear arches?

[flappjak]

I have a 5 door 98 micra and was wondering if I could roll the back arches or would I need bolt on arches?

 

[Agent_Sm1th]

Yes you can. Some have done it on here with the correct tool and also a hammer( which some members also deem the 'correct' tool).

 

[flappjak]

Yeah think I'll get the tool or borrow one and I was just curious with the door being so close

I will also being using the correct tool to squeeze the 8j wheels under hahaha

 

[flappjak]

Oh wow that'll be a tight squeeze

I rolled the lip with a hammer but i was repainting the whole car so it wasnt a problem. But to actually flare them I don't think it possible with a hammer because the double skin on the panel

Well I'm borrowing someone's arch roller so I'll have to try it and let everyone know if you can or not

You can roll them, but you can't get much stretch. I "rolled" mine about as far as I could, with my et38 6j wheels and 185 tyres there's heaps of space.

Correct technique....
