Hi

Wanting to get some group 2 wide arches, and I've found some from minisport and some from ABS Motorsport. The ABS ones are 3" wide, and Minisport ones are 3.5" wide (listed as group 2 race ones). I assume the ones from ABS are plastic, and the ones from Minisport are fibreglass. Has anyone had any experience with these arches from either supplier, and would anyone recommend who to buy them from?

I got the floppy rubber sportspack arches from Minisport a little while ago and they ended in disaster, so I'm a little swayed toward ABS at the moment.

Thanks

Not sure if the group 2 wide is the same for group 6, as they are on minispares-online and are described as fibreglass, 3.75" and suitable for 13x7 wheels

If I'm not mistaken I think that group 2 wides are the same size as group 5s, though group 5s don't always seem to have the lip for the chrome trim that the group 2s have. One thing I find strange is that the ABS group 2 wides are described as 3" and suitable for up to 7" wheels, and the Minisport ones are 3.5" and said to be suitable for up to 6" wheels
