If my car had 13" wheels on it with the arches cut etc etc, would i still be ale to go down to the 10s without it looking wierd? I know about converting the disks etc etc...

Also, if it had group 2 wide arches on is it still possible to fit the standard group 2s, or would the arches be too wide? What about the holes made for th wide arches to attach to the body?

Also, do you need to cut the arches from standard for 10x6 wheels? The car will be lowered.

Cheers
Andy.

Cutting the arches depends on the width of the wheels, so if you're getting 10x6 you will have to cut the arch, if you are lowering it as well you will have to cut even more.

It all depends on the width of the 10" wheels you went for. If you went for 10x5.5 and upwards you would need to mod the body work as you would with the 13s. Same with the arches, 10x5.5 only just go under "stadard" arches / group 2's. But 10x6 arent quiet leagal under the same arches

cheers for that guys. what i'm trying to get at is basically can you chop too much off your front wheel arches for the 10s to look\fit properly? And also to fit narrower arches? Do the arches follow the same curve on the car i.e. length of the arch? Hope this makes sense!!?!?
