Hey all,

 

I've got some nice new 5.5" x 12" wheels to fit fairly soon and I'm looking for some wheel arches to match and I really like the look of the Group 5 Euro Wheel Arches. After reading through the 'Arches Directory' on the forums it shows that they will fit 7" wheels, although the website linked above says 'up to 7", I just wanted to confirm that they'd fit my wheel size and also wanted to see if anyone could give me an idea/picture of how this may look too :D *(and be honest).

 

Cheers,

Tom

the arches will fit but i have a feeling the wheels will look a bit lost, unless theres a suitable offset on em??

I agree with the above. When I sent my mini to get resprayed I chucked on some 5.5x12 wheels so I could give my 7x13s a thorough clean but they were completely lost and looked ridiculous.

Thanks for the guidance guys, I think I'll have to rethink or look into spacers. Any recommendations for arches for wheels of this size? I didn't realize quite how big the range of choice was before now!
