Check out my thread bud. I use these. What they are exactly called I cannot remember (Just looked. They are mini specials) I'm on 6x10 ultralites assuming wellers have the same offset again I'm not sure.

Just standard arches

These are the standard Mk4 type arches and built like bricks.  They fit perfectly and I went through a LOT of arches...after several I purchased, I went back to my originals on my MB Racing 10x6 3-piece wheels.

did you end up drilling multiple holes for the other arches or just trial fitted them? I just smacked some minisport group 2 race arches and they fit like trash -.- unfortunately i had to drill the holes to get it mounted for the mot next week but im really unhappy with the way they fit... was thinking of getting some plastic ones like you have. (im running 10x5.5 et0 JBW W8s and 165 falkens)

I decided to drill....as much as didn't want to, but these arches fit so well and looked so tight with my 10x6 MB's that it was a no brainer.  But I trial fitted them and taped them into place...looked at them at all angles and just looked right.

 

I also had the mini sport group 2 and quickly sold them.  they required a LOT of sanding and painting and sanding and just didn't look right compared with the ones you see pictured above.  You can easily putty or "plug" your group 2 holes and just mark the new holes for the ones you see on my car.  Then touch up on the inside with some POR or similar under carriage paint for protection.  You will never see those holes.  I would also recommend using some of the rubber edging you get with any arch kit and put that between the arch and body.

In that first picture, I assume the standard arch is fitted differently (rotated anti-clockwise as you look at the wheel)? Normally the standard arch should come further forwards.

I used group two arches and 'sort of' covered 6x10 MWS minilites with 2degress camber, slightly wider than the standard arches.

im worried the holes from the group 2 race arches are too high up that theyll be really visible :/
whats the ET on your wheels? 
ofcourse i put a rubber seam strip into the arch to make sure i dont scratch up everything ;) Ill be taking them off after the mot to paint them and clean up the holes i drilled. actually want to put rivnuts in but only when i get the right arch ;)

They where from Minispares, if Stevie Wonder was working for traffic police and i got pulled I'd have been fine.

I probably deserve to get a warning for that.

About your roof rack not the arches ... is it an old one you've refurbished or did you manage to find a new one? I've been looking for something similar.
