What arches?

[anonymous-user]

Budget of £65(ish)
and my wheels are 12x5
Current arches were 2" wide and fitted flush so don't really want 1.75" or 2.25" because there would be a lip or gap. Can't find any 2" wide ones though! Please help.

Good question... Just to jack your thread a little, do people run wheel spacer to get a better traction and if so which spacer and which wheel arch to get just the right nice line between

Avoid spacers if you can.

may i ask why?

There are to good resons.
1 The extra load on the wheel bearings and wheel bolts.
2 The suspention is set up for a wheel postion as is, moving the wheel out further just mess this up.

Think of it this way, the grip comes from the contact patch of the wheel (bigger wheels bigger tyers more contact patch) and the type of rubber (Soft rubber more grip) Not where the wheel is. The Wheel position is important for the way the suspention is set, the angle of the wheel as it moves up and down and turns. Unless you re-set this up and you move the wheel postion it will not work as well.

Personally, I think Group 2s look best.

Either those or a Marble, Middlem, Ides of M or Admiralty.

I agree with the last post... Group 2's look great! I've got them on mine and love them.
