Hello,

I apologise for my lack of knowing - Vern has almost new Yokos 165/60 R12 71H on his 6x12" deep dishes.

Will these fit the non deep-dish 5x12" minilights or equivalent please?

Will they fit any alloys that do no require arches? Is there such a thing as 5x12" that do not require arches?

..are there any 5" wheels you do not need arches for please? (I wasn't sure of the offset). Will 4.5" fit without any arches?

Haha not all round, Vern is an 86 so he has drums at t'rear anyway and there's no way I'm converting the front, I'd sooner have arches :(

These are 165s on std. Rover Minilites (4.5x12") with a bit of negative camber AND disc brakes:

Hmmm?? :o :xxx:

The wide 'deluxe' arch trim helps to gain a few (but important) mm
