My current Group 5's look a little...flimsy, so i want to purchase a chunky set of arches, something that looks more solid. I like Sportspacks, but they're only suitable for 7x13's really. For someone with 6x12's, what's the closest i can get to the Sportspack style?

dunno about flimsy ness but have a look at 'bargain arches'
this is my thread about wood and picket, ive just put them on today so have a look at what u think about them.
ive got 12x6 on there. although its a bit hard to see as its on axle stands so the wheel is sitting properly.

dont forget the actual sportspack wheels were only 6x13, so there not just for 7x13s!

My car has 12x6 and sportpack arches.

Is there any overarching? I want them to sit flush with my width wheels

[KSTANDSTEVE]

Mine sit flush but I did add a spacer to bring the rears out flush.

I'm trying to avoid spacers..I might go for a set of Wood & Picketts, they seem to be the closest I can get to the Sportspack look.


EDIT: Yup, i do like the look of them.

Anyone here got some good words to say about W&P's?

Bumpy bump. I don't think W&P's will sit flush...what are my options? I'm looking for something similar to Sportspacks that will sit flush over 6x12's.

Ive got w&p arches and 6x12's. They fit perfect, need a bit of stretching when you trim the arch for clearence.

Brilliant! I was a bit worried as i'd read some comments, explaining that W&P's hardly covered 6x12's. My wheels are identical to yours, so they should be fine I'm going to order a set tomorrow!

[hammoj28]

Wood and Pickets cover 6x12's perfectly and make the wheels look nice and wide. nothing worse that wheels that dont fill arches imo.

[skaterava]

They look great . I've got some serious overarching with my Group 5's, hence i was to switch. I've already cut a lot of the front wing away in order to for the 6x12's to turn freely without rubbing, are W&P's (the originals) okay to fit still?

Should be ok, I cut a lot of the inside of the w+p arches out. They have brackets moulded onto them and then iv also made a mall brcket to mount the front of the arch to the car.

[skaterava]

Right, i'm literally about to buy a set from W&P themselves. A 2.25" protrusion is DEFINETLY enough to cover 6x12's?
