couple of options.
1. weld mk1 golf repair panels in to give round arches, best option for really wide wheels
2. fold the lip back on itself, allows up to a 6.5j to go with sensible tyres
3. fold the lip outwards to make the arch bigger and pull it out

whatever you do, dont grind the rear arches, as they are welded along the lip

Thanx.
Any pics how to do this or something?
Will not grind the flange, have already folded the lip but i cant say it´s enough.
