i am just awaiting the arrival of my 7.5" 4 pot cooper brake kit so that i can fit either 10x6" deepdish minilights, stramags or slotmags and i want to know will wood and pickett arched fit fine or do i need to go bigger and more importantly do i need to cut away any of the arches and how do i go about that and fit arches on once cut (if neccesary??

W&p arches will be fine for 6" wide wheels. As for arch cutting, you may have to or you may not, it always depends on the confusion of your suspension and how low it sits. So it's a case of put them on and see.

forgot to mention also 1.5 degree neg camber

[drumindan]

and cheersfreshair mini i have adjustable coil suspention alredy but just bought the brakes aswell as standard ride hight gaz adjustables and neg camber kit

[Bungle]

forgot to mention also 1.5 degree neg camber

is that 1.5 measured or 1.5 less what ever you have now ?

[drumindan]

I just bought a kit off minisport for a 1.5 degree neg camber and tracking kit

[Bungle]

then the only take 1.5 degrees off what you already have you might not end up with 1.5 degrees negative

[drumindan]

Okidoke well il see what i end up with

[racingbob]

if you havent put the 1.5 deg arms on why not see if you can change them for adjustable i would never buy 1.5 arms personally

i have adjustable and adjusted them to 2 deg camber both sides. 1.5 fixed may mean one side may be 1 deg and other 1.5 deg or less even

as your reliant to what the car is now

[drumindan]

Ok im not sure i understand why if there both fixed they may be at different cambers though.

W&P arches should be fine as long as you don't have a crazy offset on the wheels you are going to fit. Same for trimming of the wings to give clearance for the tyre,

Fit adjustable arms and set it up properly, there is so much variation on the geometery as standard through wear or "factory tolerances" crash damage etc, that both sides won't be equal. If it handles fine just now why mess as you could make it worse.

Here is mine = WP arches on 10 x 6 revos no cuttting required as said though it depends on each car.

Okidoke cheers and mine xatches on the drivers side front arch when i turn left thats why i decided to change it all but i have being told that i would have to cut away or the wheels will catch when i turn so im gonna just fit the w&p's and see how it goes on the pic your wheels look close to the arch on the front

Yeah it is close when you turn left not much in it at all.

It's going to be much more about the offset of the wheel rather than just the width
