    Starting My Mini Up

I have a std Mini citye 1989.

I have bought some group 5 wheel arches from wood & pickett but the radius doesn't match the radius on my mini arches. They have had std ones fitted in the past with the 12" star mag wheels. Wood & Pickett advise chopping the bodywork to make the arches fit & give enough clearance for the offset star mags. However I know the clearance is ok, its just the tread sticks out past a std wheel arch.

Is there a wheel arch set that are deeper to cover the tread, but don't require chopping the bodywork to make the radius' match? I not too worries about the style as I will have them painted. I do prefer the ones withot the lip on the outside edge (unlike the group 5's I have).

Hope that makes sense, any help would be much appreciated.
