Hi guys sorry if its in the wrong place, admin could you move it if it is?

Right i have a set of JBW starmag wheels 12x6 but im not sure on the offset witha set of brand new yoko's. i also have 1" spacers on the fron with extended stud and spaced drums on the rear.

The problem is with the front arches on when i turn the wheel hits the arch withou even turn the wheel half way around i dont knwo what to do!? do i remove the 1" spacers and get 20mm ones or will that still hit? do i completly remove the spacers and get some new arches to fit them then. or do i buy some differant arches? im so confused

i dont even know what my arch's are so ill start with a pic of them, can someone tell me;

So i need some help, do i remove the spacers and get 20mm ones so that they fit under the arch a little more but not sure if theyll still hit.

Do i remove the spacers completly and there for get smaller arches?

Or do i keep the spacers and get bigger arches like group 5 euros or will the be too big and still catch?


HELP!!

cheers
Joe

Or trim the arches to they don't rub. Its what most people do with large offset wheels.

Sorry I should have said cut the wing, around the arch. Then refit the plastic arches.
