6" for sportpack i think i can squeeze 7" in at a push? (maybe dependant on tyre size) and the grp 5 arches take a 7" but i thnk that 8" will be to big for them?

Sportspack wheels ARE 13x6 yet are overarched. People use 1" spacers to make the sportspacks align.

I believe Mark put his 13x7s with sportspack arches and they were too small though :nugget:
