If you have upgraded your vehicle's suspension for off-road driving and installed wide tires and wheels, the standard wheel arches may no longer fit. The wheels might extend beyond the body, which not only affects the appearance but can also lead to fines. In such cases, an Off-Road Fender Modification is necessary. We will carefully remove the old arches, prepare, and install new extended ones so that your wheels fit perfectly and nothing obstructs their movement.

Additional Information About the Service
An Off-Road Fender Modification is necessary when you install wide tires and wheels that exceed the standard dimensions of the wheel arches. This helps make the body more practical for off-road use and avoids legal issues due to protruding wheels.
Diagnosis and Preparation
First, our specialists remove the wheels and inspect the old arches. We assess their wear and whether they are suitable for further work. After that, we select special extended arches that fit your vehicle model and the width of the new wheels. We also determine the best way to connect the new arches to the body to ensure everything is secure and looks neat.
Installation and Connection Steps
Before installation, we carefully prepare the surfaces - removing dirt, rust, and aligning the joints. Sometimes the old arches can be refurbished, but more often, they need to be completely replaced with new ones to ensure reliability and durability. The new arches are connected to the standard body parts, and voids are filled with special materials for protection against moisture and dust. This stage requires precision and experience to ensure everything looks natural and lasts long.
Final Checks and Recommendations
After installation, we reinstall the wheels and check that nothing obstructs their movement and that there is no play. We also remind you that driving with wheels protruding beyond the body without modifying the arches is not allowed - this can lead to fines. Our goal is to ensure that your vehicle is ready for off-road use while complying with regulations.
