You would not believe how much I`ve searched for advice on arches! My question is, what wheels should I fit under group 5 arches without using spacers? I love the `chunky` look of 10" wheels so are they do-able without spacers? And also would I need to do any body modifications to fit them arches?

Anyone have any idea if these are Group 2 or Group 5 arches? Me thinks Group 2 because of the chrome strip/lip where as G5's do not.

Thoughts?

I put group 6 arches (also called group 2 wide or race) over tubbed arches. Took a little fiddling at the back to get them to fit, and had to have them a little bit high at the front. Work well tho.

Hi all

I have been trying to mark up my arches and wings for drilling, but my front arches don't seem to have the correct curve, I'm worried that if I drill them that there will be too much pressure on the fitting! These have been kicking around my garage for years, so would they lose their shape.

Can anyone tell me the proper method to install the 'wood and pickett' style arches?
They have no lip on the backside to screw to (from inside fender), the fender lip is to narrow to screw from the bottom, & not designed to have exposed front screws.

Anyone know the proper install technique? I ended up with a full set for free.

Thanks,
