My 86 Mayfair needs a cosmetic makeover after 19 years of being in standard trim and some bodged repairs.

I've decided to go for som 10"x6" Revolite wheels - but I believe these require some arch mods. This is a good thing as my arches are all bashed, broken and need replacing.

So my dilemma.... what arches would be suitable to cover my new wheels and how much will the metal arch need to be hacked to fit?

Thanks for the advice

Si.

do you have disks or drums ? as we have 6x10s on sarahs drum braked mini and they went stright on no mods

[BlAck0ut]

Depends whether they are dished or not, as the dsih increases the offset (makes the wheel stick out more).

My 12X6s deep dish superlites fit well under group 2 wide arches:

Thanks for the replies guys, I *think* i have disks on the front!

The revo's i've seen are 6x10 deep dish.

I dont know but i think you will have to cut a small amount from the front of the arch but it is easy to do , i had to with my 6x12 minilights

w and p are a really nice arch and they should cover the wheel

wont an 86 mayfair be on 8.4" discs? you wont be able to run 10x6's if it is.

if ya want a really nice wheel to go straight on i had some 12x5 minilight on my old mini fill the stand arches perfectly.

you can just see them in this picture. i resprayed them gun metal tho!

[Bluemini]

Unless you convert to S discs or drums, then you wont be able to fit 10" wheels over your existing 8.4" discs.
