Unbolt the arches and cut some of the metal away and then bond your arches on and see if that helps.

What wheels/offset etc?

What profile tyres do you have on there? As unless the offset is way out and you have a decent profile tyre they shouldnt be too bad.

Must have a dodgy offset then, I'd start with debolting the blastic arches and removing some of the metal and see where that get's you.

Try and check your offset aswell
