it is dangerous to do, buy some higher offset wheels or do arch work.

it surely cant be that hard a job to do? depending on the wheel i'd have to see, but im sure you could turn off 5-10mm max from most alloy wheels if you know any engineering companies with a centre lathe big enough

rolling both archs?? impossible there isnt an arch to roll.

you just remove the plastic arch trim and stick it on with trim adheasive, then if it still rubs fit some slightly longer bumpstops into the rear shocks.
