[attachment=96301:DSC00741.JPG] Hi this is my first post so bare with me. Ive got 12x6 deep dish revolutions and would like to know what arches would be best for them. I dont want arches that stick out too far past the tyre wall but just enough to cover the tyre to be legal. Has anyone got 12x6's on there mini if so what arches have you got and do you have any pictures. i was looking at the gp2 arches from huddersfield spares has anyone got these and do they have any pictures. Cheers

I was looking at the ABS plastic replica wood & picket, There 1/4 inch wider than the originals at 2.5" but because ive had to cut the arches for the tyre clearence i dont know if they would fit the new arch size. Think ill have to take a drive down mini spares and try the arches they got against the car.

They are group 2 wides from mini sport with chrome finisher.

Yeah, I had to drill new holes, wasn't a biggie like, just made a guide with a hand operated drill then used an electric one to go through the panel. to be honest with the new 6" wide wheels I had to grind away a few of the old ones to stop it rubbing.

Glad you like it-Jamie
