To be legal on the roads you must not see any tyre tread when looking at the arch from above. Hope this helps!

if youre asking if youll need to change your arches then yes you will, 12x6's do look rather nice under sports packs, not oftenly done but i do think it looks thather nice, diffrent aswell everyone usually runs 13's under sports packs, so wouldnt hurt to be diffrent. there are a few arches that will cover your arches, just have a google around mate.
