u know, like a big gap where the arch sticks out further than the wheel, just imagine 4.5's with sportspack arches

ah with you now.

But you said

Which arches will cover 7x13 Superlites,


The wheels will be pretty perfect for any of the arches we said.

:wales: If they are like the ones I've got then dont bother, I've got the group 5's fibre glass arch kit from mini spares. Okay, they look the b@#*acs from a distance but they dont fit very well at all when you get close and catch on the rear when I go around corners or over the odd bump. I've got 1.5" of clearence between tyre and arch when parked, I'm running 7 by 13's with 175 potenzas and my suspension is solid. It's all down to poor fitting arches, I'm looking for something different myself but as yet not seen anything that catches my eye.
