Hi all a while ago I purchased some 18inch wheels off my brother in law they came off his vw bora they seem to fit on the scooby stud wise so had them re furbed just had my semi slicks put on so went for the first fitting put the front on and they stick past the arch by around 2 inches at the top. Now my mate has said I will basically smash the arch to bits the first bump I go over so I need to either A. Get new wheels that fit properly or B. get the wide arch kit. Would greatly appreciate people s input

 

It means the offset is wrong and what you have said is correct! Lots of arch work required to get them to fit .

I'd look for wheels that are ment for the kind of car you have unless you know for sure they are going to fit.

 

As above. IIRC ET 48-53?
