Does anyone know if JBW W8 10x5.5 with ET 0 would fit under the standard plastic rover arches?

No they won't they'll poke out

[MacGyver]

Thinking of swapping my sportspack arches for Group 2 arches on my MPI. I notice though that the sportspack arches ride quite high with the little cut out for the indicators. Does that mean there will be holes to fill once I take the sportspack aches off? Or will the group 2 arches cover them?

Cheers folks!

The holes are too high for most arches, hole filling will have to be performed I'm afraid.
You'll need to check the wings too, as they are cut. The groupe2's might be 'out' of the wings. Not sure on this tho.

I did not want plastic or anything that stood out as that, nor too narrow (mud and dirt) or too wide. so I made my own

[Mr. K]

I have 10x6's ready to go on my mini and i love the look of group 2 normal arches. Reckon this photo is of 10x6's? if so do you reckon i could just get away with it being road legal if i have the tyre a smidge outside of the arch like this photo? Thanks.

So the standard gr2 aren't wider than the rover ones?

Does anyone know what these arches are? They may have come from Germany.....


photo image hosting

I've come across some images of the same wheels and arches, but with side skirts and a spliter (?) under the painted bumper. I've always though there should have been side skirts as there is a recess in the arches. This recess can just be seen on the rear arch in the photo above, (cream vertical line) where stone chips have taken the paint off!

 

Does anyone recognise this kit now?

 

Cheers!

Can you fit 6x12 mamba's under group 2 arches with it looking good still? I wouldnt mind it sticking out slightly would like to see pics if anyone has them on their mini

😢 So a front left arch decided to make a mid-highway run for it and leap under the tyre of the car behind me. Needless to say it didn't survive.

Could someone help ID my surviving front right, and if it's possible to get the required single one from somewhere? Will need painting, to match the body and others, so trying to keep cost down if I can! It's an Aussie 850 body, Cooper cloned, with 5x10 Minators if that helps.

Bump, if anyone can assist!

They look like Aussie Cooper S arches - is there a metal wheel-arch extension underneath as well?

 

If they are then they are still made today on the original BMC tools.
