i cut a section of the cup off on mine & rewelded a flat bit back in before spraying them , but you can do a neat enough job with a block of & a lump hammer , bang it a bit at a time and just keep refitting the alloy back on and just keep looking behind to see if there enough clearance , i was running 225/40/18s
