hello guys,

 

 

little silly question, answer is probably no as i`m thinking. but i will be getting a 7.5 disc brake setup for my estate, wich is running standard steel wheels on drums. without arches, will i be needing arches when i install these discs and keep running the steel wheels ?

Hi buddy.... I'm running 4.5" wide cooper s wheels ( not reverse rims ) and I'm not using arches....with a little bit of camber they don't stick out really

Cheers james

The original Cooper 'S' had 4.5" steel wheels as an option even before anyone had used wheel arch extensions.
