My arches have been fitted and re-fitted and repaired so many times that it is with regret that I'm going to have to get some others.
Would standard wheel arches cover this?
Also, the front wing has been trimmed, would I still be able to fit them properly?

have you measured how far the wheels stick out? if you have and know the measurement then you will know for sure, if i remember right standard wheel arches give a coverage of about 1 1/2 inchs?

My guess they are 4.5'' wide with discs at the Front, spaced drums at the back. Both with no additional spacers? If in that case yes they will fit. A little more info would be better :)

- If they are 5'' it may be tight! When my new wheels (5'') went on with the standard arches they stuck out about 10mm. however group 2 narrows are fine and cover them.

doubt standard arches would cover enough. Looks about an inch too much.
