Hiya

 

Sounds a awesome set of wheels your having made, group 2 wide or race will do nicely or you can go the route of miglia but they aren't everyone's taste.

I have Group 2 arches from ABS on mine with 6 x 10 Minator wheels and clearances :







And same arches with 6,5 x 10 Force wheels :







Have 7,5 discs and spacer drums on the rear. Probably not the best car to see what you because of the shape, but you get the idea.

[paulk 7364]

With your screws showing will the new arches line up with the
Exsisting screw holes? I was thinking about w@p arches?
Would these be ok , I have standard ones on at the moment
Just thinking about the holes in the body work

I have standard/special arches with 10x6's, albeit the wheels do poke out slightly.

[Jared Mk3]

I'm not sure if the holes will line up or not. Don't see it being a problem. W&P would look good too.

Group 2's or special arches all the way, if you went for miglia arches you would be cutting around half or more of the arch away to make them slimmer wasting them imo.

here are my 6x10 spectrum split rims under wood and picket deluxe arches 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and here are 6x10 gb alloys under group 2 rally (narrow) arches 

 

 

 

 

 

both cars are running spaced rear drums and 7.5 disc brakes up front

Where do you get the deluxe arches from lioked at w&p
Website could not find them ?

[Toeknee]

I'm not sure the deluxe W&P are available anymore.  I read that Midland Wheels used to do a repro version but they don't appear to be listed anymore either... Hopefully someone will be along to correct me though, as I also wanted to pick up a set

 

This thread shows some Rave arches available from DSN.  Not quite the same but perhaps another alternative to consider...

hi paul got the wood and picket deluxe arches back in 2005 so not sure if they are still available ,think the ones available now do not follow down over back valance and finish at bumper level
