 100.JPG   111.36K   62 downloadsheres a picture of my mini (in resto progress) with our own arches (the picture with them in colour is std grp 6 arches), i bought the widest available (except miglias as im not keen) and they all caught even with standard suspension, i have now fitted coil springs, hi los and gaz shocks, so it rides low, comfortable and still handles well, best of all the 'cringe' that i used to do at the sight of a dip in the road (lost an arch on the way back from pod, on the M1!!) has gone, so we have had a few sets made and are selling them on ebay.

sorry i cant show you any pictures with 10" wheels as neither of our minis have 10" wheels fitted, however i think you would need quite wide spacers to fill these arches

the grp6's i have on mine are 3.75inches wide
and don't have the lip on the edge of them?

Quite like these. Can you get some more pictures of them painted up like the ones you've attached? How much clearance have you got on them when steering to full lock? Looks like it'd be very close...
