What wheels and arches are they?

[rick1962uk]

the old wheels are weller steel 10x6 and the arches ? they are about 2"wide

[ed4ran]

Are you running drums on the front? and any spacers? (in the old pics), just wondering as im gonna put wellers on mine when i they're powder coated and i get some tires, and i need to look for arches.

[rick1962uk]

no im using the rover 100 setup i shall even keep the solid discs for a wile as they are new and have ebc greens fitted i will reuse the arches as im to tight to buy some new ones and i always smash them up on track days 9 times out of 10 in a scooby do who cant beleive why a old 20 year old car has just gone past at twice the speed and then they alwasy out brake them selfs lovley

[ed4ran]

i ment on the old setup before you cut the front off???
