Group 2 arches or archless do look good, 6" wide wheels will require trimming/cutting or the wheel will catch at full lock.

Would it be an upgrade though or just more weight while running the same tyre width (I'm guessing you have 12x5 now)?

i just feel the car would look better with some 6" and some wider arches

the car is so nicely prepared. think will set it off nice

would put the wheels on first make sure i still like the feel of the

handling. not upsetting anything. i know realy 5" are perfect

i think W&P arches would like nice on that, painted green to match the bodycolour
