People running wide/big poke

[HDIkyle]

Need help and advice. Got some 6" wheels fitted running 25mm spacers. I have fitted 175/55/15 tyres and they stick out of the arch by about an inch give a bit. Other than fit some universal arch extensions what else can i try?

I am hoping 165/50 will fit with a slight lip roll?? The worst offender.

You'll need to cover the whole wheel mate, it's such a grey area but if you cover the whole wheel you'd be covering all angles, so to speak.

I'm running 9J ET -5 on the estate and took some major arch work to get the wheels covered. What offset are yours with the spacers?

[HDIkyle]

No idea tbh there staggered so the rears are wider than the fronts. With 25mm spacers on the fronts are skimming the calipers??

[HDIkyle]

Is that arch rolled or welded?

[cwspellowe]

Rolled and skimmed with filler. I say rolled, I mean pulled with brute force, a hammer and a large metal pole.

Offest on those wheel must be really narrow if skimming the caliper with 25mm spacers. Mine are staggered, 8's with spacers up front are ET+5 and rears are ET-5

I forgot to take a pic but it left a slight while mark on the caliper where the paint has bubbles up there that close lol.

TBH im not fussed if the archs look abit of a mess aslong as they cant foul the tyres

It's the rear bumper you have to watch, I found as suspension compressed at the rear the wheel swung towards the bumper and scuffed it at the corner, might need to do a bit of trimming

Ye i did notice that, Ill just cut the inside off so it ends straight if you get me? Problem is the cars lower on the back than the front and with the weight of the subs if i park on any slope the tyre fits right up into the arch. If i cannot get them to fit when rolled ill grind the arch off and fit some of these Lol

Ive always wondered what those flared arches would look like on a 306! Reckon itd look crap on a 3 door but on a 5 door you wouldnt have much room :/

Cant see the bearing's lasting long

[HDIkyle]

Not sure who saw mine at FCS but with 165/50 and the arches pulled up it was ok just needs abit of work here and there.

Funny you should mention that as my Drivers wheel bearing just fell apart at the weekend Lol
