Just roll them and then pull a bit.
Also seems counter productive but go lower. This will give mire camber so more tuck.
It's not to do with how far it sticks out at the top, rolling the arch isn't going to do anything for the bottom 3/4s where the wheels stick out wider than the side of the car so anytime it's wet it'll just kick crap down the side constantly. Can't think of another idea to cure that besides full wider arches.

I'm open to ideas if you have any. Not mud flaps though.

I have a Motegi rear lip waiting to be fitted, maybe motegi skirts are the answer. Thanks.

You say no mud flaps but I'm sure these stylish items subtly fitted behind the front wheels would change your mind:

:lol:

Will keep an eye on this, keen to see how mercutio and cebul's wide arch setups look once fitted. The Extreme Dimensions kit looks interesting, especially the rear bumper, which has a kind of mock diffuser style to it.
