Hi i was just wondering about getting some 7x13 deepdish ultralites/superlites from huddersfield

(http://www.minispare...13&prod_id=1927 )

to fit under mexico group 2 arches, can it be done? when i say sit under i mean to sit nice and flush with the arch and not half a mile away from the edge lol ive only seen them fitted with split revo's, but unfortunately i dont earn £999999999,999 a year so cannot afford a set of them to say the very least. :/

if anyone has any suggestions on different wheels or any ideas for me i would be much appreciative thaanks.

hi, i make the mexico arches you have, you can get them from ABS or from us at mcleanbros.com.
the wheel arches are made for deepdish 7x13 wheels.
my brothers mini has these arches fitted, and i fitted my 13x8 revo splits on, and they fitted fine.
the arches on my mini are abit wider than these ones, becouse ive got a wider track at the back.

hi,glad you liked my pictures.
your question about spacers, my brothers mini hasnt got spacers on, but some wheels might need some on, but you'd have to try them on first.

Are there any progress blogs for either of the above cars, they look pretty awesome.

wicked mate cheers, i did notice you brought the gear linkage up into the cabin, thought that may have been for ground clearance but they sit higher that the exhaust anyway so guess thats not the reason? sorry for being nosey n stuff im just intrested as to the reason behind it lol

[Daviewonder]

I guess it's to allow the exhaust to sit higher.

i did it for a few reasons, to look good, i like the look of it inside, looks racey!
also because its inside i could move it back abit too, about 4" back.
but the main reason was the exhaust, when i made the exhaust i made a silencer fit the space the linkage fitted in, but now i dont have a silencer fitted!!!

[tango gt]

yeah definately man F*&k silencers lol!
