Hello, Welcome to TMF. Gp2 race arches will cover the 12x6 wheels you want. Good luck with it.

[jedstricky]

hey my brother has a set of 13 x 7 alley cats he said i could buy so im gonna have them! will i need to do any work to get the full turning circle and stop them from catching or will they be ok? also what sort of arches will i need?
cheers jed

Hey Jed,

You will definatley need to cut the front panel if you're planning to fit 13x7s. As for arches group 6s I think suit that size of wheel. Have a look through the arch directory in the styling section .

Here ya go

Hi and welcome to the forum. May I suggest that you consider the effect on insurance before you modify your car?

[jedstricky]

yeah i thought that and insurance is just a con and i know a lot of people who put down their car as standard even when its modified as all insurance companies will try and get out of paying out the claim so thanks anyways

Sounds Like you have big plans!
However if you cant afford to insure modifications, then don't have any, as its other drivers who pay the price if you need to claim
