with 165 tyres you could have 4.5,5 or 6 inch wide wheels


best way is to try and measure between the spokes to find how wide

remember the size of the rim is where the tyre sits not the out side of the rim


as for welding the lip back on i think theres a rover part for that as was used for the sports pack cars

If those wheels are the ones we're referring to, i'd say they were 12x6, like mine. >_<

12's is the height of the wheels this doesn't effect how wide the arch needs to be
