yea take the plastic arch off and get adjustable spanner and bend the metal lip outwards not inwards then just give it a tap with a hammer and re-place your plastic arch, you'l be suprised how 'flat' you can get the standard arches to go, here's my old car tucking 17's but i did narrow the rear beam to hub spacer... but yea anythings possible ;)

this was with just bending out the lip, you can just make it out,

and here is after i narrowed the rear beam and how much further i could 'tuck' i never drove on these even tho i spend so long making them fit...
