newage one's look like this :-
I've offered a set up today there's a bit of work to do which I'll start next week then post some pics
How much extra offset is needed compared to the standard ET50-ish? Would a hub-centric spacer do the trick, with 225/45 on 17x8 rims?

I'm going to make these one's so that you can use standard offset wheels and a 25mm spacer Andy .

I've finally made some arches up to use as a base for these new arches ,
I'm using 25mm spacers and standard offset 18" wheels
fronts are straight forward enough so they're pretty much done !
rears need to be cut for the door opening , I've tried a few different lines for the cut but this seems to work best ??
should have time to do a bit more tomorrow

Look really good. Do you have any idea on pricing yet? Also are you able to do a spraying and fitting service?

I'm hoping to make these a little simpler to make and hence slightly cheaper than the other classic arches (£200) . Bodyshops flat out atm. but may be able to fit/paint soon

Darren,
Does the original rear arch need cutting away only right at the top, ie hidden under the extension? If it needs cutting away further down it would look untidy with the door open, if you see what I mean.
