I would really like to get some W&P type arches but would like to know if the normal width W&P type arches are much wider than standard Mini type arches. Most of the people that sell them state they are 2.25 inches, my standard arches measure about 1.75 assuming I'm measuring in the correct place at the top of the arch.

Don't want my wheels to look lost in them, 5x12 with 165 tyres, they currently sit flush with the standard arch.
