    getting some S rims, to go on a flat arch...
    standered wheels are 165/65/14
    S rims are 195/45/15 ?

    165 to 195 is a big jump, im going to have to cut the fuck out of the arch yeah?
    ive already fitted a VT kit to the rear *and cut the arch out.
    so im going to have to cut the front ones too? even though the VT arch fits straight over the top ?

    oh yeah btw, i want to slam it hence why im asking about how much arch work will be needed!
    *no comments sayin its not worth it, i got all the time in the world so time isnt an issue and its my latest show project*

    my mates has a flat arch mate and it looks nice decked i fink he has got it 110mm on the bk of it looks nice, and just take out the arch inside mate not hard job (plastic arch) then there is loads of room to go extra low between the wheel and the metal arch , but if you wanna go extra low then cut the metle arc out lower it and then build the metle arch around the wheel inside the car

    I had VTS wheels on my flatarch, no arch work required at all. However when lowering Im not sure, Think it will be fine to about -50mm down, but any further will require arch cutting out.
