Looking for a wheel replacement next year and not sure of what to get, are you able to have 6x12's with standard arches?
Cheers

I think they poke a tad but look good I think.

Depends on the offset of the wheels buddy...

I was looking at the 6x12 JBW rally specials, would i have to take anything off the inside too? and the arches only have to cover tread right? (M.O.T)

i cover my 6x12's with group 5 arches

[PENTNEY]

did you have to grind the arches?

[Bungle]

yes

[PENTNEY]

Don't suppose I could trouble you for some pictures?

You cant run 6x12 Rally Specials on standard arches, as you can see why below
You would need Group 5, as pictured above.
& yes you would need to get the angle grinder out, they rub.. a fair bit

bit of a poke there! is the grinding a major job if you know what you're doing? and i know all insurers are different but how much did it affect yours??

Just a fair bit lol, I dont know as i actually didnt fit them in the end as i wanted to keep it original as its a LE. Plus my dad wasn't keen on grinding a already perfect car lol.

haha, oh right fair enough! mine's a Flame so i'm happy to, although i dare say i'd keep the standards incase!
