Post by: iluvmud on September 04, 2006, 19:37:15

Hi guys i have put some new wheels and tyres on my rangie and also a 2 " lift but the front wheels are just catching the fronts of the arches so i need to do a bit of cutting  :?

But my proplem is the wings are fibreglass and i am not sure what the best way to cut them is,  :? any ideas or advice anyone??

Don't cut them, undo the retaining strap and pull the bottom of the arch outwards untill it clears the wheel, it will help stop splatter up the side of your car and looks way better than a butchered wheelarch.

If you decide to cut use a jigsaw or recip saw and follow the swage line on the arch taking 1" off .
I have done this on boats etc with no probs.
