rolling arches

[Chris5044]

has anyone on here rolled their arches? ... if so what size/ width wheel could u fit ... would it look like the rs4's arches ... they are nice

also with wider wheels.. or spacers how would this affect the handling?

specs would be helpful thx

Wouldnt look anything like the RS4 arches as the whole panel is entirely different, it would arch out like that at all.

My understanding of arch rolling was that you lose that lip inside the arch that most cars usually have, i dont think the S2 has this so not sure if arch rolling is something that would need to be done.
Correct me if im wrong tho.

if you want big arches just buy pannels off alred like the hill climb s2 (simon bainbridges old car)

[Keeper of The Kitten]

Yep, I go along with Ant here - the practice of arch rolling can make the arch flare a little more, but it is more about the lip under the arch - and the last time I ran my hand around the inside of an S2 arch it felt like it was rolled back a lot anyway.

Audi Arches are rolled at the factory. All you can do is try and "pull" them a bit. What exactly are you trying to get under there??

i rolled mine...definitely does NOT look like RS4...in fact, you can hardly tell they are rolled.
I fit some 255/40/17 at one point. They were fine on the street, but rubbed a little in the rear at the track.
The solution = get different track wheels. ;-) Everything is fine now.

i lost a bunch of pictures when my computer crapped itself a few months ago, but here is one i found with 245/40/17s:


The majority of the rolling is inside the actual wing...If you go too much, the straight lip on the edge of the wing will round off and IMHO looks like poo.
