Was booked in to get my arches rolled at a well known garage in Newcastle, didn't end up getting them rolled as they said they can't roll the fronts the lips need to be cut due to the depth and the rears can only be rolled around 8" in length from the boot side to centre (also my arches are in good condition no rust etc so that wasn't the reason).. Surely this can't be right I've seen enough is200 with rolled arches. Can anyone recommend a solution or know of a good body shop / arch rollers in the north east?

Fitted my new wheels and with the height my cars sat at it had some scrub on fast corners on weight transfer... answer to my own question is the arches can be fully rolled i was annoyed at the advice given to me hy the garage in saying there wasn't much that could be done besides cutting the arch lips off!! I just used a trolley jack, heat gun and baseball bat! Then some wax oil just to ensure everything was totally sealed...
