Got to buy some arches soon ready for the l2b run to make me legal. Ive looked at loads of pictures on here but couldnt find many with 12x6 deep dish.
My front sticks out about 1/4" more than the rear (the rear sticks out 2 3/4" and front about 3" from wing at the top of the wheel)
I like the look of the hudd/spares group 2 which they say stick out 2.5", just wondered if these would be ok with the rubber seal around the arch and the deluxe chrome trim making them stick out a bit further.
I know the group 2 wides stick out 3" but dont know if with the trims on would be a bit too much, i dont like arches sticking out beyond the wheel too much.
so if anyones got any pictures of deep dish and the arches they got it would be a big help.
thanks [attachment=98624:regless.jpg]

They don't look like W&P's, they seem too wide. I think they are 'Rave' arches, same style as W&P's but 2.5" IIRC. Could be wrong, maybe it's just the wheels making them look big, do look pretty dam nice though, must admit!

Hmmm,

Im not sure because I bought them second hand as w+P arches. Do the rave arches not curve round at the back? What eidth are w+P meant to be?

Im happy with em whatever they are.lol

As you can see it looks a bit high at the back, but I think the wheels fill the arches quite well. Those W&P's do look good though...

those look very nice hammoj28, take it they screw into the wings lip. ive ground a bit of mine away at the front to stop the wheels rubbing, take it you did the same so did you have trouble stretching the arch to the new wing shape.

The w&p arch ends above the rear bumper if they are genuine, they look like w&p to me, they are wide. The arch just about stretches, i think the copies have more give than the genuines.

anyone got any with group 2 wide (3") or the hudd spares group 2 (2.5") ?

Cheers.

Hmmm, iv found them a bit of a pain to mount. At the moment the rear of the front arch is screwed onto the lip then the arches have had metal brackets fibreglassed inside them so I can bolt them onto the wing and the front of the arch iv made up a small bracket that clamps the arch in place when you tighten it but its still not great and im tryin to find better ways of mounting them at the front.

I hat to cut quite a lot of the arch away to get my wheels to work on the ride height I want.

Yea thats what i was going to do if i opted for w&p, just fix a couple of brackets on the front to replace the lip. I havnt ground too much off mine because im runnin just below standard hight but im just going to opt for the group 2 wide i think fo the ease of fitting and i do like them.
cheers for the pictures
