Thanks for you input of this guys.

i was thinking of sticking with 12" wheels, well going upto 12 x6

i only have standard arches at the mo, so im guessing this size wheel will stick out about an inch of the arch.

should i then get some group 2 arches as well, which use the same holes as the standard arches.

i take it there is no cutting needed when fitting 12 x 6 ? or rubbing do i need to get a certain tyre and offset.

and as you can see from the picture , i think it needs lowering quite badly.

thanks again


ive got 12x6 but you will need group 2 wides with them :), and yes cutting is required with 12x6, and if lowered... a lot of cutting lol.

My choice would be something like these:

6x10 Black Ultralites

or if you dont like the chubby look. something like these:

7x13 Supertrax diamond cut

Edit: Yes. You'll need something like Group 2 wides i think they are.. And tin snips :)

would i need to do the brake conversion to fit 10" wheels? for the front. do 10" just fit over the rear drums without any mods

a friend told me , some one use to sell 10" wheels that fit straight over the larger discs. is this correct
