in all honesty mate it doesnt look like you poke that much, id say your boarderline illegal. POLOMON is right! camber shims mate, dont lose the 8's!!! You can get a set for £20, come to think of it drewbar has some that he couldnt fit on his 9N. it should give you up to -1.5 degrees which should make you sit just under the arch! plus it'l look pretty sweet 8-)

i dont want to lose the 8's but the law are in control here, boderline illegal....hmmm, what the cops say goes I'm afraid, and dont camber shims make the tyres wear faster?

think I'm gona stick with my arches and see how they turn out...

your wheels were borderline illegal so why not just roll your arches abit then I'm sure they would cover your wheels then just enough.

i thought rolling arches doesnt make any difference to the width of the arch, it just rolls the internal lip in tight?

Mine got flared out just under an inch (as i have 8"s et35 on a 6n) + they tucked the lip up to minimise rubbing. www.archenemy.co.uk They done a fairly good job on mine. But the paint cracked on 1 arch as it had been resprayed before but its hardly noticable unless you know its there.

I would keep the arches and 8js but smooth the artches into the bodywork like b shaw said! Would look über slammed as it will give it a wider stance do the fronts a little bit to match the wide arch style it could be epic man! Good luck!

Sorry but they just look wrong! Completely out of place

I'd say if you were to weld a peice up to the actual arch out to that position and then filler it smooth then spray, it could look good. Atleast it does the intended job :)
