Hi i was just wondering if i were to change my wheels from 10x 5 dunlops to 10x 6 deep dish revos would i need to do any body mods to fit them on? I understand they can rub when you turn the wheel? Imrunning cooper s disc set up at the moment. Thanks

If your arches arn't cut at the minute then its more than likely you wont have to cut them.

But it really depends on the outset of the wheels, which may make them rub the front panel or the bulkhead on full lock.

or you could always fit a 5mm spacer to make the wheels stick out even more

I think most 6" wheels require the front of the front arch to be trimmed a little. I just heated mine up to save cracking the paint, and bent it back slightly, worked perfectly.

but that would make the problem worse

Hmm i really like the miglia style arches but they run with 10x 7's i think ? so i guess if i wanted to use those arches id have to spacer the 10x 6 deepdish revos by an inch also wouldnt i?? To make the wheels sit level with the arches? Thanks for the replys guys. think ill go with the heating method also. I scare my self with anything that can cut metal

I run 6x10's on mine and I had to trim my front arch away on both side just to allow for the car to sit low and allow for the full steering lock. I think I took about an inch away if this helps mate

I run 10 x 6' and haven't had to modify my inner arches at all, they don't rub either, the drivers side rear even has a spacer on it to make it sit flush. I have group 2 arches

Im using 10x6' revos with unmodified wings:) They where very close, but we just used the adjustable tiebars to get them away to just be safe.
