Looks like i'll need new arches.

So can anyone tell me how wide the standard plastic ones are? I need about an inch more.

Pics of minis fitted with 6x12 wheels welcome.

There 6x12minilites, 8.4" brake setup, no aftermarket spacers.

they dont look that wide. mmmmmm

I fancied some grp 2's but theres so many variations and without going round to the garage with a torch and a tape measure, i cant measure distance from the wing.

Ive got 6x12's with 165 tyres and the grp2s were too small. Heres a picture but
have a look on my turbo project page for more pics with grp2's and wide grp2's.
