Arch Extensions
« on: 18 November 2010, 15:33 »
Hello. Im new tot he forum so sorry if this has been discussed already...Ive got an MOT comming up but my front wheels are sticking out a good 10mm form under the arch. Ive been looking all over the internet and I cannot find any decent arch extensions. Found one set in germany but it is a +20mm which is too much.... :cry: Has anyone got any suggestions?
ps rolling arches is not an option!

If the wheels are sticking out then it is illegal and needs sorting asap.

Might be easier to sell up and get wheels that fit.

Borrow some wheels? Or buy a set of steels from a scrappy?
