In order of wideness also comes amount of work:

1 - Rolling the arch
2 - Flairing the arch
3 - Over Fenders / Widebody

What are you looking to achieve?

Looking for and an aggressive fitment on the rear wheels depending on the cost of widening the arches...

Me mate just said to me to go wide on the rear but he said that i would have to widen the rear arches...

Can you get much by rolling the arch...???

Whats the difference is rolling and flaring..???

Look through this thread. What you need to do depends on how low you want to go with regards to offset.

See- DAT's post

By the sounds of it you dont need anything major.

A simple arch roll should see you fit, around
