I am restoring a 1995 Cooper Spi Si and want to keep it factory spec, but for one adjustment - something that is reversible anyway, fitting 10” wheels
The car runs standard arches and I would like to keep it that way.
I have bought a lovely set of polished 10x6 super lites (the dinner plate was there to show how tiny they are when sending to a friend!) and am having the suspension and subframe restored and renewed in a few weeks before the car goes off to paint. I don’t mind if the wheels stick out, I like that look....
I am fitting new cones, hi los, bearings, track rod ends, standard bushes, 7.5 brakes, pipes etc.
Will the car be driveable on 10x6 as is? I am reluctant to fit anything but standard arches. If they rub, is it undriveable or a bit of a nuisance?
Can I chop away a little to solve that problem (before it goes to paint) and would it rub on the front or rear of the arch?
Unfortunately I can’t mock the car up as it will all come together at the wrong time and too late to make a fly edits.
Thanks all...
