When you buy these arches for the 4 dr,how much needs trimmed off the rear to stop rubbing??
I am looking at getting these but being in scotland you be a bit far for me to get them fitted??

we trim about 25 to 30mm off the rears

Adam Kindness 12 August 2010 07:19 PM

:S just trim as much as you can is the safe answer - more lightness LOL

Ginge ! 24 October 2010 08:00 PM

simon what wheels do you have on your motor mate ?

im trying to work out if i need to go 18ins for these arches or can i get away with sticking with 17ins rims ?

R1CH D 24 October 2010 08:08 PM

you could run 17s, 255 40s if you go for 9.5/10" wide rim with Et20

M444GY 26 October 2010 03:03 PM

you need 18x9s 18x9.5s or 17x9s with low offsets to go under these arches and look good . they just eat any smaller wheels :D

benzico 26 October 2010 11:07 PM

Anybody put these on a white classic wagon yet?

shonner 26 October 2010 11:15 PM

I have fitted 18x10 with 265 35 18, i think 285 35 18 would just fit :thumb:

Would it be possible to have another version of these arches but say and inch or so narrower, would make getting wheels that fill them a little bit easier
