Yes I heard that before. The most practical solution would of course be to use my old wheels. The Arcadias look much better though and that is what matters.

I folded the lips back on themselves on mine, I used a heat gun to get the area nice and warm and used very light precision tapping so as not to crack the paint, it's hard to photograph with the wheels on but you get the idea, it worked pretty well.

I bought one of those arch rolling tools from eBay. It lasted just long enough to gently bend the two rear arches back. It then snapped and I was refunded.

no , only the arches rolled , they must have miscalculated the dimensions when drawing up the Arcadias , or forgot about laden cars ...😺
