Hi all,

I've tried and searched for the answers but really can't find what I want!

These are the wheels I want! They're 12x6


Has anyone on here got pictures of their cars with the following arches and preferably some kind of 12x6 deepdish wheels:

Wood and Pickett.

Group 5

Group 2 Wide


Particularly from a head on view.


Also, I have read that the W&P have to be fit underneath and from what I understand, due to the size of the arches I will have to cut some of the arch (front and rear?) in order to make them wheels fit.

Would I have to do this with the GRP5 arches aswell?

Any information would be fantastic because i'm at a point where I need to make a decision.


Thanks

it's the size (width) of the wheels that result in arch mods not the arch it's self

Do they rub when the cars on full lock or do they rub all the time.

Thanks

they rubbed as soon as your not in a straight line, now have standard arched on - but only as a tempory untill i find some i like - the W&P wouldnt go back on at the front as they wouldnt strech to the new arch

I'm almost sure Pauly managed to trim his front arches for clearance and retain the W&P's....

I've been thinking about doing the same with mine.
