Do you mean this sort of thing -

I would have thought the type of places that supply alloys & bodykits to "Max Power" types might be able to point you in the direction of someone local to you.

Doesn't wheel arch rolling just fold back the reveal on the arch? I think you'll need something else for wider wings

What *should* I say, then? Sure you know more about it than me, just not heard of it widening an arch before :D

The tool frost sell will fold the lip back and can also widen the wing. However we are not talking inches. It literally stretches the arch as if you grabbed it with your hand and pulled it out.
