Looking at those.. i recon i'll be ok.. They are gonna stick out slightly whatever happens i think.. The top of tyre sits inside the arch.. its only really the wheel rim that sticks out.

Gatwick aint far.. its just getting the car there. wonder how long he would need it for?

Knobby,

You could be in trouble here fella. THe law states that the tread of the tyre must be covered when looked down on from the top. If this is not the case then it won't pass an MOT and will more than likely get you tugged by the Boys in Blue. Looking at the pics it looks like the G60 arches should cover the tread and make you legal. But I think to get those wheels to clear inside the arches to lower it is going to be really hard work as they stick out MILES!

Good luck,

Nick

This picture gives you a better idea as to how much they stick out. I've been told that the rims are allowed to stick out and inch from the body work, anything more than that and you will be done for it??? From that picture i recon the G60 arches should do the trick. Watcha think?

any ideas how much i will be able to cut from the rear before fitting the skin? i am guessing the lip will be joined.

Cheers

Knobby!

knobby how much did u pick the rims up for btw?

they look rude :cool:

if your not going lower then cut the lip,and seal it with underseal. if u want to cut more then cut half an inch up of the metal and u shud be fine and not cut any welds off.
