I need some arches because the ones I've got are broken and I really like the look of group 5 arches but how will standard (don't know the width of them) minilights look when the arches on? Will wheel spacers bring the wheels out enough?

so if I got some 1" spacers it should look ok?

I can't really tell by the pic because the wheel is turned but how well do they fit the arches, do they stick out a bit?

I wouldnt have thought they stook out, Thats the main point in arches.

It is against the law to have your wheels sticking out from the cars bodywork, secondly its to look nice :gimme:

As I understood it it is illegal to have the tread sticking out from your car, but it is ok to have the sidewall sticking out?

I only wanted to know if they stuck out on Bungle's car because if I get wheel spacers it's only going to add another inch to my alloys so there will be half an inch different between the edge of my alloys and the edge on Bungle's so if they stick out a little bit then they shouldn't look too awkward on my mini.

But yeah they probably won't stick out, guess I'll look for some group 2's and spacers.
