I’ve got new 12x6 Superlite wheels and I want to fit the W&P style arches.

I will need to trim the front of the wing to stop the tyres rubbing. Will the W&P arches fit the new profile of the wing?? Looking for advice from anyone who has done similar.

These are the arches:

I had to re-profile my front wings towards the front bumper and bend up a new flange, originally for 6x13 wheels on full lock and fitted genuine W&P arches (Note: W&P style arches may be different fit), there was just enough 'flex' in the arches to accommodate the difference in radius. However the rear part of the arch has slightly mis-aligned with the sill body seam over the years (see photo in link). More recently I have fitted 6x10 Minilites under the same reprofiled front arches:-

Hello,
So did you fit the 12x6 with the w&p arches? I’m in a similar situation. I think the look is good…so keen to know if the arch + front panel needed cutting.
Also depends on your ride height, front tie bar setting, state of your suspension doughnut.
Happy to hear your or others experience.
