I bought some 13x7 Ultralites and need to get some arches for them to fit under. I've been told theyl fit under sportspack but it's meant to be quite tight? Would i be better to go for group 6, group 7 or sportspack? I also guess some of the front arch will need to be trimmed? I've got hi-lows

Cheers in advance guys and, Merry xmas yesterday :xmas:

sport pack arches do fit 13*7s and i think they are just about inline with the wheel so look ok.

Thanks guys, Is there actually much difference between group 6 & Sportspack?, they both look spot on. Would i be right in saying you get a template with the arches to show where theyl line up?

Right now it looks like i'll be ordering Sportspack

Cheers folks

Oh and the wheels didn't come with any studs, the ones i have on the mini currently are 50mm. I take it i'll need to order longer ones as its a different type of nut. The type of nut on it before was revolution type nut, but the new ones are the tapered nuts

Cheers for the replies folks :gimme:

Ended up goin for the Group 6, they came today and i took them out and offered them up and they look great offered up to the car. I bought them and the thick rubber that runs along the outer edge along the side of the car & the rubber trim for the arch to car. Thinking i might need to buy some small spacers to fill them out fully tho, as 13x7's might just be slightly too narrow to fill them out completely.
