Default ABW arches

I am going to fit a set of ABW arches soon, I have a set of 18"/8" et 38 wheels will these fit ok with some spacers as really can't afford 9" or 9.5" and I like the wheels I have.

You will probably need a 20mm spacer to fill the arch

you will need 25mm spacer (min).but i would get 25mm + a 3mm spacer but its not that good to do that .or i have a set of new 9" wheels not been fitted £700 for the abw arches
