I have 14 days to get arches to fit, or i could go court, lose car & fine. Best i can find so far is from The Arc Angels, http://cgi.ebay.co.u...#ht_1218wt_1165
Does anyone know any wider if need be? or do you you think they will fit.

Thanks for any help

can you get (borrow) some std wheels to bung on to get the car back?

then you can sort the arches at your leisure.

I know.
If it was traffic they would have.
That's why i have to get this done, and it's more than just to scare me.

Did they say anything about the stretched tyres?
And have you got spacers?

Yep but spacers are to clear arms, and shocks etc.
Na they arent really stretched anyway (much) i ran 175/50 13s on these 8" before, which ill have to go back to soon, as they dont do any good 195/45s any more.
It'll be fine, ill just fit at least 5" wide miglia arches asap

If you look a page or two back on this sub forum you will see a post by "Avenger" called "Extra wide arches". He is selling extended grp6 arches which look very similar to the arches you already have fitted, except wider of course! You may even be lucky enough that they'll fit straight on and you may not even have to drill anymore holes!

Thanks, i did check other threads already going, as i'm not one that just goes and creates a new one without checking, because everyone hates that.
But i must have missed that one. ill have a look now.

Had a look, but not really what im after looks wise.
I bought these, BUT going into the paypal bit it says up to 15 days delivery time!!!

5" wide makes it just enough from rim to lip, gunna have to get the camber sorted.

have you tried huddersfield Spares?

http://www.minispare...amp;prod_id=240

they are a bit more expensive than the arc angels ones but they delivery time might be quicker and it says they cover 8x13 revs so should cover your alley cats :o

Hi, yeah it was between those two companies, so i went for arc angels. as they were cheaper. Im not worried about spending the money on the other ones if it means it gets it done. Was just hoping someone would have used them before and known if they were any good.

Well ill wait to hear back from arc angels on delivery time, if they say its going to be more than 1 week, i wont pay them (i know its bad, ive never done that on ebay before but this is urgent)
Then ill buy the wideboys from Huddersfield Spares, as ive used them before and delivery was next day and well packaged. Brilliant people. Last time i used arc angels however it took 1 month to get Dzus fasteners sent!

I've never used them but ive seen them on cars with 6x10's and theres still "room" under them so i think they will fit,

i want to get 7x13 alleycats and either miglias or group 5 euro arches so its good to know huddersfield are good and not to use arc angels, 1 month that is mad!!
