Just another quick question regarding these arches. Should they be set away from the front of the inner arch as per the picture below?

Thanks
Jason

I think I need to bend these back but I don't think they will take it. There are also no holes so these need to be drilled into the arches. I think I'll send these back. I plan to fit these wheels:

So I guess I'll order arches from these guys soon to match from their site.

With fibreglass after mark items there will b a lot of adjusting. Together the arch sitting better you will need to scribe the edge. 13" have them on mine and I needed to cut back the front wings. Make some brackets and fibreglass them on the arches.

Thanks, I need to go with aftermarket as I am fitting to a clubman. I quite like to see the joins to the wing which makes it easier I suppose.
