Hi everyone , im new to this so bare with me! Im looming for ideas of wheels and arches setups and I'm toying with the idea of 10x6 black Motorsport wellers with group 6 arches . Will these wheels fill the arches well and anyone got any ideas of where the find the wellers? Cheers

These are 6x10 Weller Motorsport wheels with group 2 arches.


I can't say I've ever seen a set of group 6 arches but they'll be winder than 2s so poking out wont be an issue but they might look a bit swamped. Finding a set could be a bit of a mission. I think I'd try and find some Mini Stox and Grass Track forums/clubs and ask there as they seem to run wide steel wheels. There's always ebay as well but they don't come up often.

Hi tupers thanks for the help mate, any ideas of 12x6 deepdish minilites with 6's ? Maybe with spacers as I don't want them swamped by the arches. Nice wellers by the way , they look good with the 2's

My black motorsport wellers under group 2 wide arches.





As about where to buy them really ebay or auto jumbles is your best bet. There bloody hard to find.

Hmm now you've got me thinking, I really like the balance you have with the arch and wheel , no arch over hang etc. do you think the 10x6 minilites/ super lites would give the same 'wide' look as your setup Leaky ?

Same car with 10x6 ultralights.





Front are tucked in as I have camber on the front but the rears fill the archs real nice. About the same as the wellers.

Both setups look great , im gonna look into the difference in width from the group 2 and 6 . Great lookin mini in the background by the way ;), the clubman ain't to bad either

you haven't said what brakes you have up front so i'm assuming the posters above have crystal balls

drum brakes are narrower than disks by about an inch and bring the wheel in by the same amount

[TommyWolstey]

Discs

I have standard minilites on now I think there 12 inch so would I have to change the brakes of I put 10's on

If you have 8.4 discs then you'll need the 7.5 conversion, there is a group buy with minispares somewhere.

Sorry about the quote ^^ thanks for all the help guys, one more thing .. Say for instance I went with group 6 and 12x6 deepdish minilites what size spacers would be adivesable to go no wider than. I mean I just want slightly more from the wheels than the arch in terms if width . Will the spacers affect handling ? ( not too sure if the wheel offset)

I'm running s discs on the front of mine and 1" spacers in the rear.
