Hello fellow humans,

I am looking for some wheel arches for Mr Rokko. I am looking for a retro rally look and suitable for 10X6 Wellers. I really dont mind whether i use spacers or not. I just want to know what the possibilities are with this sized wheel.

I was looking at Miglias but i worked out they will be so wide they are unusable

What should i have?

Tom

well this PAGE should give you an idea of sizes, but i like W&P arches, and they should fit 6" wide wheels.

Got a set of W&P Delexue arches for sale.

The front ones have been cut for flipfront, but join nice. I will get some pics, will let them go cheap as i have a set of grp 5's now.

with sarahs wheels they are just right , but she does not have any brakes :)

a disk braked car will have a little bit wider track and may need the extra bit of a GP2 extra wide

My mini has Sportspack arches on.
My wheels are 12 x 4.5 minilite's with fat tyres on (Tyres are like 5.5 I think)
Wheels are also on 1 inch spacers! :tongue:

And they are just about covered by the sportspack arches. About 1cm Space left.
