So my wheels keep catching when i bump around the fields at home, causing the arch to be a bit distorted now, whats the best way to cut them? ive got a dremel and would imagine thats best. But im concerned about leaving a sharp edge that will slice into my tyre if it catches again.

cheers

4 inch grinder with cutting blade or stihl saw are quicker and easier. A camel cut would be best tried first. As for sharp edges I filed mine so they weren't sharp to touch,not cut a tyre yet.

You could refold the edge over if you allow 10mm extra before you cut them, being alloy its easy enough to do !

I hadn't thought of that. It's an xs so has that grey dotty sticker. It will help to keep the cut straight anyway.

I went to local auto factor and bought a strip of car door edging strip. Works a treat and was only couple of quid
